If you're interested I have an NCD 2.5'' brand new I'd let go for cheap. Bought and decided didn't want to go that route.

Makes sense to me.

This was the case with the older non-offeset spacers. Offset designed spacers will not cuase rubbing issues.

What will settle, the steel spacer that is installed? That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.

I have a theory about that. I think way back when, in a thread like this one, people were talking about leveling options, and someone was talking about shock leveling, and they said wait until they settle.

Well someone misunderstood and thought they were talking about ALL leveling options, and this misconception has just perpetuated. I can say when I leveled mine, it did not "settle" at all.

It doesnt matter what you use. A shock is not a spring. A properly working shock will not "settle" either. Springs may, over time.
