Recently had a poly 3/4 inch rear spacer installed on my 2016 ram 1500. Before installation the drivers side rear measured 39.25. Now it measures 39.5. Mechanic installed it on the bottom of the coil springs. Should it have been placed up top? The spacers didn’t come with instructions. Everything looks legit with the springs. I’m at a loss. Thanks for any insight.

Those are TGC poly spacers and yes they mount on the bottom. I just asked the seller about these Monday and he verified that. Many members here have those exact spacers installed on bottom. Hopefully they will reply about height increase

Yeah I researched them and found different answers about top/bottom install. The mechanic, who i trust said he always installed these on the bottom of the spring. Everything looks great with the setup. Im starting to wonder 2 things: 1)Could the springs be so soft that they just compressed more instead of actually lifting? 2)Maybe I measured my truck with an empty tank of gas before?

Thank you. That’s exactly what mine look like. Truck rides the same, no squeeks. Going to measure later this week with 1/2 tank of gas to see if that was why the measurements are off.

Is there an eBay link to these 3/4" rear poly spacers? I can't seem to find it.
Would this work on a 6" RCX lift with Bils set at 2.1 in the front. The rear end of my truck looks a little lower than the front. Being the RCX rear spacer is on the top and polys go on the bottom, Is it doable?

Here is the ebay link, you can vuy it directly from them online but the shipping for me was approx. $25 so ebay was cheaper.

Can you use the polys on bottom with a lift that has spacers on top? I need an extra inch in the rear
