they fit fine? I still need to install mine but will do it after a few other things first.
When my 30mm rear spring spacers were installed some ~5 years ago, the bump stops needed some trimming in order for the spacer to slide over. I'm not 100% sure at this point, but I think I had gotten my spacers from Slee. This is on a 2014 LX.

They fit exactly the same as the OEM spacers do. I had issues because i bought new top hats and changed out the studs to the longer ones that came with my Temu4x4 20mm spacers. I had to push out one of the studs and push it in again to get it to sit squarely so the spacer would fit. But that was the stud not being installed strait's fault, I couldn't even get the top hat into the holes in the shock top of the truck frame.

Also, just for reference, i tested one of the spacers with the OEM studs and they worked. I think i posted some pictures of all that in one of these threads.



Here it is with the Temu studs. Room for so much action on those studs.

Most epic backcountry camping at Tuweep North Grand Canyon. Right near the Toroweap Overlook. If anyone ever gets the chance, this is not to be missed. Definitely in my top 3.

We’re headed that way in 6 weeks and have a few sites on our radar a little east of this spot. How accessible is this spot? Like, I’m I going to run into someone in a Corolla who plays their Bluetooth speaker late into the night while their comfort animal runs around off leash or is it difficult enough to gatekeep the rapscallion city types who just want the pics for their instagram from making in there?

Not much chance of crowds, heat might be an issue that time of year. Fuel and plenty of water.

Tuweep campground has 10 sites and needs an NPS reservation. Not likely Instagram bros or riff-raff will get out there unless they are committed as it's 61 miles of dirt road that'll take 2:30-5 hr drive depending on vehicle, from an already remote trail head. I was able to get out there on the low end of that with tires at 15 PSI gliding over portions at freeway speeds. I can't imagine a passenger vehicle that will shake apart itself and occupants. Prius's also won't make the last few miles that have some minor shelfs to navigate. One couple I talked to got out there with a stock diesel truck and they looked beat up as I can't imagine that was a smooth ride. Most everyone I met at the campsite which was much more exclusive was retirees.

Looks great, I'll be there in a month.
Are you in the NP or just north?

Just the north remote rim. A much different experience than the zoo that is the south rim.

This sounds like a a haul with a trailer… doable bit possibly more work than it’s worth for a couple nights.
 
Been lurking around this sub for a few months and finally got my 200 a few weeks back. My wife thinks you all are terrible influences. Got a new pair of shoes yesterday just in time for the Easter snowstorm. Someone already swiped my previously scratchless 2017 bumper in a parking lot, giving me the go-ahead to treat her like a proper cruiser.

I agree it may be a haul with a trailer unless it has great suspension and able to sustain higher speeds on unimproved roads.

My Airstream has no business offroad but works great as a basecamp left in town. I have the LX setup to host the family for 2-3 days offroad before I need to return to basecamp.

now you need new front bumper

whiich will look terrible without rear bumper

and to be safer you need lift to see over others

tell your wife this is all for your safety

she wouldn't want to lose a husband would she?

We have Tuweep CG reservations for mid May. Planning on dropping down from Kanab. Those campsites are going fast.

I like the way you think it would be a shame to be so unsafe.

It’s fully independent, 33” ridge grapplers, big travel and higher clearance than my cruiser. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. We’ll drag it over 3 rated trails if the destination warrants it. Regardless, I’m definitely going to be looking into this spot before making the call. This sounds like the type of place we are always looking for.
 
I believe Brad Garland had both his Karavan and Kamper out there.
