    Good afternoon. I was gifted these from a buddy (they didn’t fit what he was doing to his truck), and he just gave me the arms themselves. After looking at the instructions it appears I need a offset washer so it doesn’t have any slack when installing it. Do I need to contact SPC to get that specific washer since it’s a offset washer or will a normal washer from the hardware store work?

    The off set washer goes under the arm between arm and ball joint. Take the ball joint off and see if its there. It is unique you would not find it at any hardware stores.

    This is what I am referring to as ''offset washer'', not the one that actually adjusts the arm. Capture.jpg

    The spc instructions specifically say to use the spc washers.

    I bought mine used without the washers so I contacted spc and they sold me some for $2ea + shipping.
