front suspension lift easier just to tweak the torsions :lol

I believe they are not for lift but to correct the angles that a lift with torsion bars will do

spacers provide front suspension lift over stock suspension settings as well as that much more overall front suspension travel.

I thought they were to correct the front camber after suspension lifts ...

BJ spacers go between the upper bj and the upper control arm.
When you crank the torsions you lose all the down travel in your suspension.

BJ spacers move the control arm up so you can crank the torsions further and have the same down travel.
