Removing the spacers won't hurt. You may also want to add/make some internal limiters out of fuel tubing to lower the truck and its center of gravity. Off set rims and LCG TVPs help too but those aren't free like the limiters.

Removing the spacers will lower the truck for sure....but it also softens up the spring rate and shock dampening rates. If you want to keep the suspension firm, you will have to run thicker shock fluid.

I found this on a post in RCU by another member and it shows how to do the mod on a savage central site:
