Another question.
It appears that I have lost a 1/2” front height over the OEM Z71 shocks with my zone 2” spacer.
Previously I had a very slight Cali-lean and I noticed today the front is now level with the rear. The 5100s are on the “stock height” and I have a zone off-road 2” spacer on the bottom of the strut. Front and rear measures 38-1/4”. The rear has no spacers, only the 5100s. (Maybe the rear was raised a bit? I never measured it)
I REALLY don’t want to disassemble thr shocks again to move the snap ring to the 0.59” setting.
Would i be safe removing the 2” spacer block and installing a 2.5”top coil spacer block from CCM? I can get it swapped over in about an hour...
I have read a lot that a 2.5 may not be safe?
