    I also prefer the delrin bushings that they come with. That's a $200 upgrade with TC

    How much space is between your LCA and bumps when wheels are on the ground?

    I've got DK lowers. I like them they look good. Reasons why I went these over the TC race was they were cheaper and they have Delrin bushings... if wi were to do it again I'd just go straight to a 2+ TC race series kit and not do lowers

    Not much, an inch or two, but Superbumps still work well with them, just need a bunch of spacers.

    Thanks. That's about what I have. Just wondering what others had since it seemed a bit of a small space compared to my previous set up.

    I didn't look back on the sway bar either, ride is much better without.

    So you like silver better than black :). I'd have a very hard time arguing against either solution.

    What did you use for spacers? It looks expensive to add an inch of wheeler's spacers - did you use compressible spacers or just washers?

    Seems easy enough. Where is a good place to buy it in small amounts? Looks like Amazon will be ~$13 if I make stackable spacers to get the right height. Was there a good amount of threads to lock in with the spacer in there?

    Here's the link to the one I bought. I cut out as much as I can to optimize the board and then used what i needed and passed the remainder to TW locals who needed spacers.

    I'll be dremeling them so less is more if you know what I mean. 1/2" sounds good. I can cut the rest into squares for other people lol.

    I bought a 3" hole saw bit from Lowes then shaved the edges with a knife. It's messy so be ready for that.

    $7 for one on Amazon sounds like a plan. Nothing like half melted plastic flying all over the place. I'll make sure to do it outside where I can sweep.

    You didn't have to buy longer bolts though? There was plenty of thread poking through the end of the spacer material?

    I did. I had to buy M10x1.25x60 Allen bolt to fit inside the superbump and the correct threads for the bump stop mount.
