Default More nOOby Spacer stuff

After reading what you guys have posted about spacers, I had decided to get the 1.5 inch spacers over the 2 inch. (simply because I didn't want to spend more money on parts just to get it aligned)

Well, they came in the mail today, outside the order slip read 1-1/2" & inside was the paper work which clearly read Ford 2"...
So I measured them, 1.75 inches

The LADY in customer service was trying to convince me that they will compress to 1.5 inches. Is she correct? or did they F up & send me the wrong parts?

seems to be a very hard plastic compound, more solid than urethane.

here's the ebay link.

In the listing they brag about how they DON'T compress over time like those cheap poly-urathane ones... lady don't know shat...

Also according to the listing they are made of delrin, a polyoxymethylene product produced by DuPont

So will these work? (the 1.75" that is), without having to purchase additional parts to get it to align?

Well, The update so far is... They've emailed me back telling me sorry, we no longer carry the 1.5 & would be happy to reimburse my money. After I already had a shop turn them down to 1.5

But that's not all, I was finally able to get a day in our shop to install them. Got as far as installing the extension bolt, WRONG SIZE, 1 size too small. Since a 1/4 inch had been removed, I tried without the bolt extension, but the nut doesn't go on all the way.
We have an F250 sitting here at work (I work at an Automotive Shredder) & those springs are looking awfully nice about now
