billy- do you have any close-up pics of your trimming?

 

oh no, i see my secret is out. i am an unhuggable hairy old man! :cry:

p.s.
be careful, that's dangerous!

 

I can get you some pics posted tomorrow...get your chainsaw and grinder ready...

Billy

 

here are some pics of the spacers before and after :











measured as follows:

before:
driver's side front: 35 7/8"
passenger's side front: 36"
driver's side rear: 37 7/8"
passenger's side rear: 38"

after:
driver's side front: 37.5"
passenger's side front: 37.5"
driver's side rear: 38 1/8"
passenger's side rear: 38 1/8"

net gain:
~ 1.5"

 

any pics billy?

 

So you got another 1.5 inches from the 3/4 inch spacer??? I thought it was good for just an inch? Those top mounting nuts look a bit scary, but i'm sure they are on good n tight. I'd be intereseted in knowing how well it aligns.

 

it'll probably settle to closer to 1".

yeah .. they look scary to me, and feel scary, but they're as tight as i can get them, and i'm not sure ... do you think it's dangerous?

 

Gimme 20 min, i just got home...took pics for you earlier today.

Billy

Also, to those of you that installed our front spacer this weekend, expect everything to settle and give you a net gain between 7/8"-1". It took mine a couple days, and is resting at 1" even as we speak. Also, as long as you have the nuts on tight on the three studs, you will be fine. We settled upon 3/4" as that was what appeared to be the highest and safest in regards to getting the nuts fully threaded on. Also, you will be able to return to stock alignment specs as well, even with my 36" tires and 22" wheels, I am only .5 degrees off.

Pics for ya soon ahriman.

 

and from the side after Nitrous Enterprise's 3/4" spacer up front (but on a slanted driveway):

 

looks about the same as mine. i am about 1/2" a$$ high right now,maybe those rubber spacers will level it completely

 

i think it looks better with the rear a bit higher. as you can see from my measurements, the rear on mine is almost exactly .5" higher ... and it looks nice that way i think, because of how the truck's body lines are shaped.

be careful with those rubber spacers ... sounds dangerous.

 

more aerodynamic when you are doing mach 5 through those mud puddles almost flipping it!

 

nah ... i was going slow hugging the trees at the edge but a cliff of mud broke off and pulled me sideways and tippy into the mud bog.

 

Here are the trimming pics...feel free to ask any and all questions. Hope you all are satisfied with your spacers.

thanks, Billy ... i probably won't be running 285s myself, but i know a lot of other people will find this very useful!!! thank you!!! (and i am very very very satisfied with my spacers, and grateful!!)

 

FYI-

You can run the rubber spacers within the system for sure. I can tell you that you are not going to gain more than 1/16" from them, but they do act as a decent isolator betweent the coil and lower revtek spacer. I have had them in the entire time.

Billy

 

wow, if that is all the trimming i will have to do, i will be a happy man! thanx for the pics.

i am sure you guys got the joke, but i am not putting the rubber spacers back in to gain height, only to avoid any metal on metal squeaks later on...

the spacers worked out great. i put the entire lift in at once, so i do not have any b4 and after for the added gain from the spacer, but i am sure people will see the results that the nitrous spacer has on levelling our rigs compared to the stock rev spacer.

 

Glad to see you are a happy man. Out of curiousity, does the price seem fair...we are trying our hardest to keep the quality the best and the price the lowest possible...keep me posted. Thanks again.

Billy

 

I've been too busy partying.... will update as soon as I install (tues/wed) Damn you San Diego... heheh.

 

We'll all be looking forward to the results...pics and measurements. Good luck with a quick and smooth install...and dont go any higher!
