Putting a spacer between the axle and frame helps the approach and departure angles the same as increasing the arm angle, there's no difference.

I don't understand "increasing the arm angle". What is the angle relative to? I have a rear and up arm on my Dexter #9 axled Scamp 13. Am I missing something when you talk about increasing the arm angle?

Anyone else have lifting updates? And how about adding shocks after the lift?

here's the results i get with a 2 inch spacer, 6 degree down on a flexride, and 15 inch wheels. The nice thing is that with the 6 degree down angle, the arc of travel is through the horizontal plane with no forward or backward arc. I can no longer feel every bump telegraphed to the TV. at that angle the arm also has more leverage and rides much smoother.
