Front end spacers???

[nathooker]

Which spacer will lift the front to level with the read? I bought the OEM spacer and it's less than an inch thick. Any help and or sugg. is greatly appreciated.

The OEM spacer works to level stock set up. I haven't measured it but it looks right visually.

Suspension geometry will magnify the impact of the spacer.

Your geometry will double the thickness of the spacer at the wheel. e.g. A 1/2" spacer will equate to 1" of lift.

Anyone have a part # or link to the spacer?

(The spacer part # is 43136-60020)

P/N 43136-60020 Link to thread with more info about the spacer --> Notice anything extra or out of place?

Not to hijack, but did the 2013 models come with the spacer?

Not sure about the 2013 but the 2015 didn't.

Thank you all for the info, I feel better now. My local dealer is putting them on for me this week.

Please post what the dealer is charging for installing the spacers. Thx S1

Sorry, I ended up going to Stigler alignment in Memphis and they charged $191.00. That was for install and re alignment. Work was very well done and I thought it to be a fair price.

Before and after pics?

Based on before and after measurement I only got 1/2 inch out of the OEM spacer. Not sure I'd use that spacer again?

 

[MScruiser]

That's odd. I'd say your initial measurement may have been off, or perhaps that KDSS may be to blame.

Have you measured the hub to fender distances in each wheel before and after the spacers? I ask, because if one side was off balance, and then you installed the spacers, it's very possible that you actually did gain more than 1/2",but simply can't observe it, because the KDSS is better or possibly more poorly balanced than it was previously.

I'd wondered about the KDSS.... if that's the case then opening the KDSS, rocking the suspension side to side and end to end, then giving it 20 min to adjust and then closing may result in slight increase in height with the new spacer. Easy to try.

Has anyone tried using the OEM spacer on the OME suspension? My front passenger tire clips the bumper near full articulation. It's not a huge problem but I was curious if anyone has tried the combo of the OME strut and OEM spacer?

Those Stiglers sure are nice folk
