Installing 2" level spacer on top of struts

[blondie70]

Howdy....how much trouble is it to install a 2" spacer on top of the struts ? Thanks

What spacers?
If they are the kind that require you to turn the upper bearing i would not unless you install new bearings.
The lower 2 inch spacers have worked out fine for me.

I dunno the name of them. Round and fit on top of struts bolt on with 3 bolts and locknuts. Thanks

IMO, you are better off going with the spacers that go on the bottom of the strut/shock.

Bottom strut spacers are the way to go for 2"

The top bearing is not at 90 degrees with the strut.
When you install the top spacer you have to turn the top bearing about 45 degrees and it makes the angle off.
You then end up needing to force things back together.
You can see how far mine were off.
I do not know if mine was a unique case or they all are like this.

thanks for the info. Think I will order the bottom spacers and keep the top ones for a memento.... ha ha
