| Looking at getting Rubberdown 2" lift kit and some spacers.
Question on the spacers, are they all created the same? Where to buy from? Thinking about going with 1.5" spacers all the way around, is this a good setup? | |

| No brand I could recommend, but look for the ones that have a flange to keep it centered, and make sure that the new studs in the adapter are long enough to handle the tickness of aftermarket wheels. All of this I learned the hard way, buying off ebay and not knowing the vendor, spent extra money that I shouldn't of have to. | |

| i have a set of 1.5 inch spacers off my LE i will take $140 for. there from superatv. same as what stealth posted. i also was running the same lift from superatv. great lift that can be 1.5 or 3 inch lift.
what are the offset of your aftermarket wheels? if there more offset than factory you may only want to go with 1inch or no spacers. |

| Steve, get you a Roktak lift (upper mount). Provides a better ride than a bottem mount lift. I've had both so I know. | |

| Steve, go with a top mount lift. makes the ride much better. a Roktak, racertech, or the lift i had and the one stealth has. |

| i would not use the spring spacers. its just a temperary fix for saging springs. get a set of aftermarket springs. highlifters or the springs from superatv, or the makintrax springs. the ride is much better with the springs and top mout lift. |
