I have a set of 50mm raised Jimnybits coils for my LWB GV.
I'm wondering if I should run the coil correction spacer in the front or the 15mm spacers on top of the coil.
Will each of these methods lift the front roughly the same?
Are coil correction spacers necessary on a 50mm coil?

I've got 3" coils in the back but only have 2" coils for the front.
I need something to get my up to level.

Why do you need 3" of lift? I would argue that it's going to be far easier and cheaper to lower the rear by an inch than it is raising the front by an inch.

Unless you want to do it dodgy, of course.

In addition to the caster/camber issues that the new LCAs will solve, you also need some sort of strut extender/spacer to avoid "topping out" the struts, diff drop brackets to reduce the angle on the CVs at full droop, and probably the right axle support bush for the front diff.

Like Henno says - it's a lot easier to lower the back an inch than it is to raise the front that extra inch.
