    Just installed this kit on a 2016 4wd. It went smooth but the inner tie rods ran out of adjustment and needed to be trimmed shorter to get the toe set correctly.

    So question, no spacer on the bottom of the strut gives me the 4” drop? and adding the spacer gives me a 5” drop?

    • @liamfoley4452
      @liamfoley4452 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I know this comment was over a year ago but using the spacer gives you a 4” drop and no spacer gives you a 5” drop. The spacer in effectively pushes your lower control arm further towards the ground giving you more height and without the spacer the control arm is higher towards the body giving you less height.
