Got 3 out of 4 spacers installed using the ratchet strap method as someone suggested on page 1. Ratchet strap method>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfMBSZCI5Io#t=57. I don't think it's a true 2" lift, oh well the job's almost done and I've got minimal bleeding. Even using thick peices of rubber to try to insulate the ratchet from the shock I still managed to scratch them on several spots but nothing black automotive paint can't cover up. Tomorrow I'll move the machine out of the garage to get to the last shock and after I finish i might take some pics.

Not the best pictures but as you can see I only gained about a half inch at most.

Honestly, before the spacers I got it from the dealer, unloaded it, ran it down the block one time and parked it in the garage. I haven't driven it with the spacers installed yet. I get new tires and rims sometime this week so i'll report back.

It's not a real lift. It's just tightening the ride up. Help to carry more payload or heavier set individuals. It's like tightening the preload in the rear

Noticeable difference in the ride?

Just an update, with the new tires and spacers the ride is really stiff. Hopefully that translates to better load capacity and not just a really annoying ride.

Thats crazy, I cant believe you only got a half an inch. I installed them on my M4 and got just under 2" of lift. Rides alittle stiffer but not severe
