Measure measure measure

I have a customer who was too lazy to measure and ended up buying 3 sets of spacers. Measure it twice, buy once!

Anytime you put spacers you'll need longer lug bolts.

I plan on getting some springs and shocks later, so is it better to wait to buy spacers once I have the springs and shocks in or can I purchase now without having to end up buying new spacers once I lower the vehicle?
