This is the equivalent of holding a bridge up with bottle jacks and hoping it survives an earthquake. The weight should be distributed over a larger surface. A wooden 4x4 with a hole dilled in it will last longer. Love your content. Not trying to sound like a d$%k.
I might be wrong but I think those spacers should have been flat at the top and bottom just to distribute the weight they will take and avoid them poking through the floor of the car someday
That's not going to be a good long term solution. The amount of stress you are going to put on the thread and the frame will not last off road. I recommend using square blocks to help distribute the load more evenly. You are only distributing the load across the face of the spacers and it will have flex. Cheap isn't always better and fast doesn't mean good. Keep up the effort I do enjoy your content but this will be very temporary and you will need to be drilling and tapping new threads sooner than later.
Sounds great!
Shout out to Mason - Go, Mason!
A BUILT video to start the week! So glad to see regular content - love this channel!
I like the sound of that, it's not as loud & annoying as I thought it might be.
Been looking forward to a new video from BUILT!

My wife also tries to scare me….mainly with her driving, cooking, and credit card usage.

Did this to my Ridgeline many years ago
Great video, Kaleb! Good job, Mason. 😊
I had to cobble together a Cradle Drop for my Jeep Patriot Lift, which includes dropping the left side motor mount
Does your crv have the table in the trunk floor??
Been waiting for this one!
Are those the recalled harbor freight jack stands that were falling on people

Agreed. Far too much axial load being concentrated on the bolt head. Also, bolts should be high tensile...
