Good to know! So a strut spacer instead of the Johnson Rods? Does the spacer effect ride quality? I've heard raising the LR can at times be problematic for the computer. Thanks
Yes.
Install the spacers and then take a quick ride around the block. If you ever rode a solid rubber tired bike as a toddler, you will recall the feeling.
The spacers themselves do not lift the truck. Thus, you have a truck sitting at the same ride height with much less air pressure in the springs to get to that ride height. It is very noticeable.
Install the rods, and it goes back to normal.
I would also recommend taking careful measurements at each corner from the hubcap centerline to the lower edge of the wheel flare molding before making any changes.
After you install the rods you are looking for this measurement to be about 50mm greater than your initial measurement. It might take some adjusting with the IID tool or similar to get it exact. IME, small variations in this measurement created fairly noticeable changes in the ride/handling of the truck.
