I'd like to lift one inch and keep a set of 15" rims & tires on hand for off-roading trips. These are dirt cheap and easily adjustable for lifting or lowering. The reviews were good and many said they tighten up old slushy suspension for fresh and improved handling. Naturally, the 70s VW bays were not mentioned among the applications. I have to wonder if these would improve our bus's handling or just tip my ass over on windy off-ramps. I've seen the old rubber spacers work successfully, but I read that they tend to pop out when the going gets rough. They also lack adjustability, which is the cat's ass. Although the rubber ones give a bit of cushion when pressed, whereas I'm afraid the non-giving clamp & bolt style might cause some bone rattling, which isn't good for me or the bus. Any thoughts?
Well, in my defense I was looking for a way to lift a lowered 73 Pontiac Bonneville back up to standard height. When I remembered these spring spacers, my tired brain seized on the idea for the bus. And it was early. So very early.
To be fair, if you drove up on to one under each wheel you'd get maybe a one inch lift overall when stationary. And the punctures you'd get would give you maybe an inch drop...
