Level Kit 2 1/2 installed but have a question!!

Hey guys, hope everybody is doing great today. Thanks for your responds in front

I've installed the hell bent steel 2.5 inch level kit for the front. Now because of the shape of the hell bent steel spacer the strut will be rotated 180 degrees. When i stand the strut with out the space top on the ground, the strut points to the left, with the spacer and the 180degree turn the strut will point in the opposite direction.

My questions;
1.will this damage the suspenstion/ arms in any kind of way?

2. The upper controll arm joint will be worn out a bit faster through this spacer i think. Should i install a modified upper controll arm?

3. I need alignment in the toe-in but its friday and i cant get this done to tuesday next week. Can I still drive without the fact of damaging something?

thanks guys

I beleive the offset you are speaking of is designed to prevent the coilspring from touching the control arm at full steering droop.
As for the alignment, the only thing you damage will be your tires. How much, depends on how much you drive. You should be fine, you don't drive excessively untill the alignment.
