Hi have read that 80 series LC front strut spacers fit the rear of an nm, how big would the spacers need to be to lift the rear by 2", apparently a 50ml spacer will lift the rear by more than 50ml, something to do with geometry "apparently" . Has anyone here got any experience using these spacers?? Thank for reading.

Had a 2" old man emu lift fitted, the front did not settle much, as was expected by the installers. Installers said come back and we will change the front if not happy. I did not want to loose the height in the front so added these http://bushskinz4x4.com.au/products/...egory=16661058 to the rear very happy likely on/over the limit for wheel alignment yet to be done. She is now level again. Much happier with the ride and look.

I stuck my head under the Pajero this morning and did a quick check with the tape measure and the rear spring looks to be around half way along the suspension arm.
So a 25mm spacer should give 50mm lift.
But I have no actual experience with how much lift spring spacers give.

I have them in, along with 2" lifted suspension, not sure how much they give but I am using 30mm ones and had to put in offset camber bushes to get wheel alignment2001 NM 2.8tdi GL, 5 spd Manual, MM Bullbar, Dual Batt, 400w Inverter, Boo's intercooler, sump and tranny guards, Dobinsons HD raised springs, Strut/Spring spacers, Bilstein shocks, Front Aussie Locker, 255/85x16 Cooper Discoverer S/T, much more to come....Comment

I think you are confusing "strut spacers" and "coil spacers". Strut spacers are usually steel or aloy, whereas coil spacers are generally made from some type of urethane or hard rubber.
Front 80 series LC "Spring spacers" fit in the rear of Gen3 Pajeros, but not "strut spacers".
Strut spacers give usually double their size in lift, but coil spacers give the lift of their size.
So to summarise, 30mm 80 series LC front urethane coil spacers will fit in the rear of your Paj, and will give it 30mm more lift.

I can see how the coil spacers would give their height in lift on a normal solid diff, but with independent suspension the lift would be multiplied, just the same as a strut spacer.

Pretty sure 30mm 80 series spacers gave about 40-45mm rear and 15mm triton strut spacers at the front about 35mm2001 NM 2.8tdi GL, 5 spd Manual, MM Bullbar, Dual Batt, 400w Inverter, Boo's intercooler, sump and tranny guards, Dobinsons HD raised springs, Strut/Spring spacers, Bilstein shocks, Front Aussie Locker, 255/85x16 Cooper Discoverer S/T, much more to come....Comment
