2.5" Autospring acual size???

i just got my autospring spacers and they seem to be the 2 inch instead of 2.5".

i measured them and they are 1.705 inches wide, is this right????

The 2" or 2.5" sizes are referring to the amount of lift they give not to their actual thickness.

this is correct. someone best described it as pushing a vertical pole. pushing one point in the pole makes the top move off center more than pushing a point higher up the same distance.

Wow.. that was so much easier for my brain to compute than the description I got. Of course, it was from a physics teacher.
