I was reading through BDS's install instructions for their 4.5/7" lift kits and not only are they throwing in a preload spacer but a strut extension as well. I see they include an extended bumpstop to limit compression but there are no limiting straps to keep from over extending. Seems like you would see all the same strut issues people claim with the leveling spacers. It also seems that they aren't the only ones doing this. Given that how can someone with one of these bigger lifts say that a strut spacer is any worse than what they have? Just me thinking out loud this saturday morning.
