    just leveling out

    I can't do a lift till after the winter but the stance bugs the s**t out of me. was wondering if i could just do rocky road spacers in front without getting new shocks. also will i be able to use these with a lift later on?

    The 1/4" plates that go above the strut? Yeah they're cheap and easy to install. I even have a write up in the how-to section.

    I installed those spacers on a members Xk in a dunken donuts parking lot lol.

    The studs in the strut mount are too short. You could get longer studs... but that's a lot of work for just 1".

    Yes, down travel is gone. And when he did that he welded in new studs for the strut mount since there wasn't enough thread left. He has since got rid of that setup and went with SL+OME
