Personally, I'd probably destroy just about every piece of scrap I had doing test bends before feeling comfortable with spacers. But that's just me and my stubborness, I like doing what can't be done.

Yeah, I decided I didn't like the spacer idea with a flat chassis either - so back in the vice it went and I bent it enough for a start - if I decide I want more kickup later, I'll use some thin spacers then or bend it some more. Pics to follow when I get the front bulks mounted (some holes need to be drilled first).
