I’ve been looking through the forums and haven’t found an answer so I’ve started my own thread hoping for help. I just installed 1.5” leveling spacers on my 94’ 2WD. The springs don’t seem to sit flush on the spacer and was wondering if that’s a real issue. The spacers are flat on one side just like any other brand spacer I’ve seen. Any (two cents) would help. Thanks!
Here’s the link to the spacers:

Chiming in here because I’m interested to see what the reply is as well. Spacers have always intrigued me. A lot of people say bad stuff about them, but how “bad” can they be??

Do you have a picture of what you mean?

There is nothing wrong with spacers provided they are installed correctly and your alignment and steering are good.

This is what they should look like

I’ve got the same spacers you’ve got. I wonder if there’s a gap because I’m not using an isolator in between the spacer and coil. I’m using mobile and have no idea how to post a picture. I took it to get it aligned after I got new tires the other day and it’s at near perfect camber .1. I don’t have any odd noises or clanging or anything and steering feels fine. The ride feels the same as stock as well. I hit a deep mud hole the other day and the truck threw me around like crazy and I was almost sure that if there were any problem with the spacer I’d find out right after that but the coils seemed to be perfectly fine, didn’t budge. So I’d assume the way they’re in is fine assuming I do my part in keeping the hardware tight. If worse comes to worse I’ll just buy rough country leveling springs and that way I can use the stock isolator and hardware.
