How big are the strut spacers for a 3" and 4" lift? I know they are smaller than 3 and 4". I have a guy who might make me up a set, and I'd rather take out guess work and trial and error. I believe 1.5" would give 3" and 2" would give 4". Would it make a difference if the spacer went in the strut with the spring or if it bolted to the top of the strut like most leveling kits?

I've got a set installed on my Sportage. It's currently buried under some stuff in my garage but I'll see if I can dig it out and get some pictures. (it'll give me an excuse to start putting it back together too) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cool. I'd love to see some pics. I need to get this lift done, but money is tight, as usual.

It sits on top of the coilover and is 2" thick. Gives about a 4" lift. ![[Linked Image]](http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q98/h0merdog/DSCF9485.jpg)
