Just switched these out for eibach setup. Thought someone on here might want a cheap level spacer kit.
$40 shipped to lower 48.

they are from AUTO SPRING KITS on ebay.

also, don't run the eibach shocks with a strut spacer on top. If you even manage to get them into place, due to the increased length of the shock, with a spacer as well you will overextend the shit out of your suspension at full droop and break your ball joints or CV joints.

If I run the eibach struts with a spacer it will be with a stock spring at stock height on the strut. I don't know if using the strut to level it preloads the spring an limits travel or not.

If I run the eibach struts with a spacer it will be with a stock spring at stock height on the strut. I don't know if using the strut to level it preloads the spring an limits travel or not.

the Eibach struts have a longer extended length/more travel than stock, designed to work with increases ride height. this extended length is within probably 1/4 to 1/2" of where the limit is for the stock ball joints and CV axles. when your suspension droops (if you lift a tire while offroad) the shock will extend to this length, and no farther, and keep it from putting pressure on the ball joint and CV.

IF you manage to squeeze in the eibach struts with a spacer on top (you will have to compress them to get them in), then the extended length will be so long that your new limiting factor for your front suspension will be your upper ball joint or CV joints, they're both around the same point.
If you're CV is trying to spin when it hits it's limit, it will likely break. and the ball joint repeatedly maxing out will certainly wear it out much faster.

Thanks for the info. Now I'm thinking I'd like to pick up a stock set of take off front struts an pick up the Eibach struts an have them assembled by a shop an do the swap myself.
