Roush/Hotchkis Leafs w/Lakewoods, Got Spacer?

i have the roush kit on mine, got a set of Lakewood t-bars and attempting to install, looks like I'm in need of a 1½" thick spacer for the mounting point on the front side of the axle. I guess this is normal since I'm 2 leafs less than stock?

Anyone else have them, what did you do/use? thanks

I required a spacer on my TrukTraks (similar to Lakewoods).

I run ROUSH springs.

You can see it to the right of the caliper here:

just that spacer on the rear side of the axle? I need on for the front mount (1.5" thick) and possibly 1/2" for the rear ones.

Got a local metal shop cutting some square stock for me. May just use some huge washers for the rear ones to dial it in if the supplied spacers are not enough.

Will trimming the snubber down help you any? I cut mine down to the last ring. There is still plenty of material left. If that doesn't work, I believe Lakewood has shorter snubbers.

I had to use shorter snubbers along with the spacers.
