ball joint spacers

[slim]

ordered some of these, just wanted to know are these fitted to just the upper joints or both?? t.i.a

[Woodzie]

they space the upper ball joint from the upper wishbone

John you may need to grind some of the back lip from the upper wishbone also to get them to fit,but you won't really know till you got the ball joint off

The groove should be placed downwards onto the ball joint. It allows water to leak out of the bottom of the spacer.

If you put it upwards water will collect and start to rot the upper arm.

Some advice please guys

I'm I correct in assuming these give 1.5" of lift once fitted?
Do you have to adjust the tor bars to match?

If I fit 2" lift springs to the rear do they give a full 2" of lift?
If I went for the 2" spacers from the crawler site would they give 2" of real lift
Or are there geometric forces at work that result in a lower over all lift than the sum of the parts fitted.

[BUSHWHACKER]

If you fit the balljoint spacers, there's no need to adjust the torsion bars.
2" lift springs should do just that, raise the truck/suspension 2", but may be firmer.
If the springs you have now are OK, then 2" spring spacers may be a cheaper/easier/softer alternative.
