Front Shock Spacer - Walk Through

[Smitty335]

The rears take 3 in for the load level shocks on the 1000. I cut mine 3/4in thick on mine.

Sorry, this is for a buddy of mine who has a 700, looks like 2 inch on his. I have been thinking believe it or not, SS is very hard, wonder if contact with softer metal will wear into the shock. May need to go with black steel pipe????????????

I have seen people use pvc pipe....but i wouldnt recommend it. I used shc.40 steel pipe for mine.

PVC pipe? Sounds like something a plumber would do, HA! Would keep the unsprung weight down though. I used Elka Stage 5's spacers, HA!

My spacers only cost 12 bucks though

My spacers came with a warranty, expensive one!

Will this work with the spacer on top of the spring? I think it will, but saw yours on the bottom.. just got me to thinking.

Just finished mine. They are on top, and that's where they will stay!

Good choice, mine are on the top. No problems so far.

Has anyone used the spacers on a 2018 700 ? Just want to make sure I get the right size pipe to cut. Not sure if they changed shock size. Thanks for your help.
