I do know that RRO spacers(which claim 1-1/8", but are only actually barely 1" thick :-\)


RRO Lie? I'm shocked   ::) Kinda like some of their kits that "work with all aftermarket bumpers" yeah... Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

are those boondox spacers? I noticed on my 2000 GV that they were too big around for the coil but I made them work. they were too big to go into the cup in the back but they worked great up fornt. I left my isolators in the back and took them off the front cause I would have had to cut them up fornt but I wish I would have for that extra little bit.

there is a reason the rocky road spacers are two differend sizes if you look at a pic. I was hoping the boondox ones would be that way but they weren't. glad to hear they are sending a new one. if that happens to me they freaking better do the same

You might want to take a few measurements and look into extending your bumpstops. I believe that with the spacers in place the coils will fully compress before the bumpstops are reached. That is going to put a high load on the spacers, its also going to cause spring sag.


bigger shocks should stop it before it would compress that much more I'd think. I measured it out but haven't installed any bump stop spacers yet but it's only like an inch that I am going to maybe do to let the bump stop compress a bit. the shock boot kind of acts like a bump stop on mine. I measured by taking the coils out and leaving the shocks on and tinkering with the jack to flex it and stuff
