Not everyone can just throw 1K at a lift....

TO the OP. I don't know if you can add marks 1/2" spacer to the BDS 2". If it were me I'd go Marks 3" and be done with it. DO you have any weight on the front of your vehicle. V7guy reported that with 89s and no weight up front he broke the strut couple of times. I'll let him chime in but you can Read here viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3283 I'm not sure if 88s with no weight in the front would work. My guess would be the same results as V7guy got. You might as well replace the front struts since you'll have everything apart.

Yeah with no weight Id stay away from the stiffer springs. See I didn't know Gordinho did that.

I ran the 2" BDS and Mark's 1/2" spacer before I put the 88s in. No spacer with the 88s and BDS.
