The rally I built the v70 for was the 2019 Texas Gambler 500

The lifting mechanism did not change the ride at all. The volvo OEM springs are so soft. I just replaced the bent spacers this morning, and added some rubber boosters to help the springs not collapse as much when hitting big bumps etc. These adjustable spacers are very durable. We really abused them, and bent 2 after some crazy abuse.

Im not sure, but luckily they are trail changeable!! 4 bolts, and they are out! I have been wondering how long they will last as well, because they do have almost 200k miles on them before adding this extra stress
