Q. has anyone else with or without front spacer had this problem? Q. how can it be rectified? for the record with the lift I now have from the ground to guard flair is; front -930mm rear- 985mm

I really find it hard fathum people who spend close on $50K on their rig as a buy in yet lift it by the cheapest means possible.
If you limit your up travel (bump stops) a strut top spacer lift can work short term. For the dangers of it and the implicantions of insurance etc I would not touch it considering you can get a lift from Ultimate install for less then $2k
Just my 0.0002c
