Should i take them back and get the twist in ones? The only twist in ones they had said up to 1 and a half inches. The back sits about an inch and an eigthlower than the front.

Nothings wrong with em i just think itll be easier putting the twist in ones in instead of having to adjust to fit the same

No the ones ive already bought are metal with bolts and you have to adjust them to fit. They have 2 plates with a half moon cut in them which fits around the shock and u tighten the bolts to spread the shock apart to raise it. The twist in ones they had were also metal but u just twist them in with a ratchet theres no adjusting to make both sides the same there just automatically the same

my rubber ones were fairly easy to put on, if you get the twist ons im sure it wont raise it the full inch and a half. are you afraid it'll raise it too much? :p

hmm, i would think those would work fine and even a little better maybe than the metal twist in ones, you would think the twist in ones would pull paint off
