body lift spacer question - 5/2/2008 9:44:49 AM    stevenf   Posts: 71 Joined: 4/23/2008 Status: offline I just started on my body lift and im curious as to how the spacers go on the frame/body. Do the spacers touch the frame and the body or do they need washers? The stock ones seem to be molded on the original bushing. Do I just put the 2" spacer in between the frame and the body, with no washers? Post #: 1

What is the manufacturer and PN of the lift kit you are installing?  That information might help us a bit... < Message edited by swartlkk -- 5/2/2008 12:02:25 PM > _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to WolfPack) Post #: 4

The instructions were rediculous! Take off the lower fan shroud, take off the rear bumper, take off the air intake system, undo the gas tank filler tube, unbolt the vacuum pump on th epassenger side fender well under the hood. Each one of thoughs things was COMPLETELY unneccessary!!!!!!! I guess Ill know incase I have to do this agin. (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 5
