LSVP height

i have downey HD 1.5" springs, and want to get a 2" spacer...

should i use the top or middle holes on my LSVP bracket that came with the downey kit.

Currenly i have 1" spacer and am using the middle bracket...and my panhard is dead level.

hey hill!

you seem to be talking about two different parts, lsvp and pan hard rod. all i can suggest is put in the spacers and check both lsvp and p/h, you may have to use the upper mounting hole to keep things in the same place as they are now.

Your panhard has nothing to do with your LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve). You are correct in using the middle hole right now. When you add the coils and a spacer, you will need to use the bottom (or top) hole (don't remember which, just not the middle hole).

Hope that helps.

The idea is to set the LSPV rod as high above the axle as the amount of lift you are running.

No problem, I've Been There and Dont That with the LSPV. When I ran into it, nobody seemed to know what it was or how it worked. My 3.5" lift kit came with a 2" bracket and I finally convinced myself that that was just not right:
