I have been having back and forth emails with Supreme Suspension concerning the lift kit I purchased from them.
I purchased

I measured the spacer at 1.5" ...

Email from me to Supreme Suspension
Opened package today. You sent me 1.5" vs 2.5" requested. I would take the 2.5" if avaiable. If not available I request a refund.


Supreme Suspension
Hi, and thanks for your purchase. let me explain a little how these spacers interact with your suspension. Your struts operate on a motion ratio, so when a smaller spacer is installed, it will change the geometry of the lower control arm, steepening the angle of it, and that will account for the additional lift. So with a smaller spacer, you will get the lift as advertised. I really appreciate your time, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.


My question to those in the know ... Is this correct?
Will a 1.5" spacer give me the requested 2.5" lift?

I don't want to install these and then be told no return since they were installed.

Thanks in advance for your support.

It is not a 1:1 ratio. I can measure some other 2.5" tomorrow and see what they measure, but 1.5" seems right for 2.5" of lift.

My experience with Supreme suspension is that they give larger than advertised, which isn't always good.

 

Thanks Dude
I just read another members post of the same type of question. Looks like I got what i wanted. I even have a machinist friend that could tweek the spacer if i decided it was too much. I want level ...

 

dont do it , installing there spacer will cause upper a arm to hit coil springs . trust me i installed theres and it did , taking mines off and installing auto spring 2.5" theres are offset

 

I probably should have mentioned that. Above 2", I strongly recommend spending the extra $25+ on the Rough Country, AutoSpring, ReadyLift for inboard offsetting the strut to limit coil contact with the UCA.

 

Thanks Str808 and Dude. I think i am stuck with these but i can swing another better set. Thanks fr the info ...
