Default Ordered AutoSpring Level Kit

I ordered the 2.5" AutoSpring level kit and the total height of the spacer is only 1 1/2" tall. Is this right? I wanted to ask before I start tearing the truck apart.

Thanks!

Thanks, just looked odd that the spacer was only 1 1/2".

Yes it's correct. If you read the instructions it explains that the geometry of the suspension doesn't require the spacer to be the same thickness as the amount of lift.

My kit that was just installed did not have the diagonal pieces.

Supposedly this is Autosprings design, they have a write up on their website of why they are diagonal.

Thanks, my instructions did not say anything about Geometry. But after researching I do see how it works now.

Mine didn't either. I was expecting them, but no. Now curious why some have them and some don't.
