Well folks got the body lift done yesterday(pics will follow later). That went fairly well, thanks for the tips guys!
On the other hand tried to get the spacer lift done today & ran into a predicklement. Putting in new struts(not the problem) but when I was trying to put strut assembly in with the spacer mounted could not seem to get things to fit. After starting the tower bolts(as per instructions) then attaching the forks by one bolt, for the life of me I could'nt pry the control arm down far enough to get the lower fork bolt started. While doing this could not help but notice that even if I managed to get that lower bolt in, that if the suspension was fully extended the inner cv boot would get shredded to h*ck(started on the driver side, just so ya know). Am I missing something or becoming delirious in the heat of the battle <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />?
I have thrown the Kia back together for time being cuz it's the only wheels I have at the moment, so if anyone has any more hints about how to get this together, would be much appreciated <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />.
Holy crap I need a beer....or three <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />!
My shoe phone # is 403-870-5718 if anyone feels like calling from Canada or the States(I can call right back on my dime).
Thanks in advance <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />.

I can't rember what spacer you bought but one other person had that problem. He bought my spacers for stock springs and then bought lift springs. If you got the 1 1/2" spacers they will not work with lift springs, the 3/4" spacers work with lift springs. If you got the 1 1/2" spacers with stock springs and are haveing troubles send me an emial with your phone# and I will call you as soon as I can. Send me an email anyway and let me know what is happening, with the right combo you should not have interferance with the CV boots. Dennis
