Pulled out the grinder and made myself some bumpstop spacers out of some old sierra body lift blocks.

Solid steel with a hole drilled and tapped through the middle. Should work ok i think.

Should stop the struts bottoming out when i install the strut spacers.

Are they centred in the spring/ on bump strike pad? All of the home made spacers I've seen for vits/ GV's seem to have some sort of offset or mis-alignment to them.

I only ask, as this is a job I am yet to do for my vit, and haven't looked into it really well yet.

Loogs good though.

the fronts strike the control arm pretty square pete, it's the rear ones that need the mis-alignment.

Ah. I see, said the blind man.

Guess I didn't pay any attention to which end of the GV the spacers were for :lol:
