Default Coil spacer help!

hey everyone im looking to get another inch or so in the front with these 2" polyurethane coil spacers. They can go under the coil, above the coil, or weave it in the middle of the coil and once its in wrap it upwards to its all in. I'm just wondering if I were to release the upper A frame from the assembly would that relieve enough stress so I can put the spacer in the middle of the coil? Has anyone had any experience with these, they were from autozone for 9$ a piece. Thanks in advanced all criticism welcome.

blazers dont have coils. They have torsion bars. You can get an inch and a half by cranking the tbars up.

oh sorry I forgot about the 2wd setup. In that case my buddy put some on his trailblazer. We put them on the bottom. I cant really see it making that big of a difference where you out them. They were fairly easy to do though. You will probably have to rent a spring compressor from autozone unless you have one
