I had installed the 2 inch "old" design the first time and saw that the UCA-coil contact was getting worse. After a good discussion with Kevin at Autospring, I swapped it out with the new design. So far no problems and I have about 1/4 inch of clearance now fully off-loaded on the front, so my spindle is plenty long. I do know that the varying lengths of spindles are the cause of UCA-coil issues with these spacers. Some have this problem with the 2 and 2.5 inch spacers and some don't depending on this length.
