I ordered some 2.5" spacers for my 2013 Ram 1500 2WD. I went to install them the other day and it just wasn't happening. I'm hoping someone can lend some advice to assist me.
The actual spacer height is 2.5" but the height between the spring and the mount is 1.5".
Using a spring compressor (aka suicide stick) I was able to wrestle the spring and spacer into position. I started to jack up the lower arm and it stopped compressing the spring and started lifting the truck. The problem is that I still had a good 1.5-3" of space needed in order to get the ball joint into the spindle and a nut started on it.
So after many attempts I pulled everything back off and put them aside until I could cool off and ask the experts on here.
Thanks in advance for your help!
