3/8 top spacer plate

Installed the OME 888s w Nitro charger shocks, and full Dakar medium duty leaf pack. I'm exactly 1" lower in the front vs rear, which is almost what factory rake is. I have read on here alot about the 1/4" spacers and getting close to 1/2" more in front, but was looking to be at or as close to 3/4" more to get a more straight stance. I know the springs are going to break in and may say a little, but wanted to see if anyone had these #1, and what real #'s did they get from them #2, and did you have to get extended studs or did the factory ones work #3
Thanks in advance

 

I don't have the 3/8" spacers, but you will need new studs. I have 1/4" spacers and only thread, or two showing with the 1/4". I did read here in past that someone did get 3/4" with 3/8" spacer. Hope this helped some.

 

How much exactly did you get w the 1/4"?

 

I got a 1/2" with 1/4" spacers

 

Could always add a rear bumper or a bed rack, that would help take out some rake

Depending on how long ago you installed the lift... there’s a chance the Dakar pack might settle a bit still too. Could maybe throw some sand bags in the back help expedite and level it out some in the meantime. I was thinking something about pulling the third leaf out as well, but I think that’s only for the heavy pack?

1/4” spacer is kind of the limit of what I would stick with... the extra half inch might actually be enough to make it “look” sufficiently level.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking too after I thought about it more. Thanks

 

I have the 3/8" spacer, Wheelers, on the driver side. I was thinking there would not be enough threads on the studs also. The factory top assembly studs have very thick nuts on them, they appear to be two piece at first, the strut assembly nuts that came with my coilovers were standard size and went on no problem with the 3/8" spacer. I believe they were he same size studs, Wait a minute, OK, they are pretty dang close. The Wheelers assembly may have 1/4" longer studs. That would be cutting it close. I bet if you call wheelers they would tell you. The 3/8" spacer was $ 8.50.

 

Anyone know if there is a 3/8" out there other than Wheeler's? I only ask because the aluminum ones are on backorder and I want one now haha.

 

Or would I be okay with the poly one if I'm not doing any true off-roading...I am 90% highway driving.

 

The poly ones are fine even for offroading.
