it would'nt be a bad idea to put the spacers on there even if he was lowered an inch. it still put stress on the rear end parts.....

my advice, buy the spacers you wont regret it dude!

Ehhhh, I'm dropped a good 2 inches, and don't use them. 35k+ miles, no issues whatsoever.

I dropped mine just over an inch and had to replace both axles due to them warping. After purchasing the spacers never had a problem again.

Well it looks like there are mixed matches results from lowering the car.
