Did you have to disconnect the drive shaft?

Was there only one bolt for connecting the spacer to the housing?

Yes. I found that weird as well...But yes, mine only had 1 bolt, nut, washer, and lock-washer per spacer.

Man, you’d better get to it... Losing daylight.

Seriously though, take your time and make sure it’s right.

And be sure to post up before and after pics, and install pics here on the thread.

Hello,

I hope you dont mind a few questions. With this spacer kit, do you see a need for new trackbar and adjustable control arms ? Are the wheels no more centered with the small lift, and is it visible. After the instal did you have to do anything with steering adjustment ?
What about the riding compare to factory?
During installation, did you loosen all control arms (like other advise in other lift kits install) ?

Thanks in advance

Honestly, yes... An adjustable track-bar will be needed to bring the front end back to 100% centered. Mine sits about 1/2” to the left...Not even noticeable with the aftermarket wheels and tires, and it effects nothing with a proper front end alignment, but if you want it back to 100% centered, you will need an adjustable track-bar. It is not noticeable unless you really start looking at it. Factory adjustment allowance is up to 5/8”. So, you will still be within factory tolerances, even if you don’t get the adjustable track bar.

I didn’t change any control arms, and everything is fine.

Yes, you will need a proper front end alignment after installing any type of lift or doing any sort of steering or suspension modification.

You’re still using all factory components, so it still rides like factory.

I didn’t loosen them, but I had help to pull down on the axles to get everything back in place. If doing it by yourself, I’d recommend loosening them for ease of install.

Got my 35s on. Lift is riding smooth and it looks great in my mind.

Figured I would post some photos of my install of the lift, overall it was pretty simple to install.

Bump stop in.

The bolt to put the spacer on took a while to get on.
