Struttek and btf spacer?

[prodigy9904]

I have front and rear Strutteks on the way. What size spacer should I use in the front to level it out?

Something very small...1" to 1.5" would do it.

How about 2" front and 1" rear? Do you think that would work?

might be ok. Depends on whether you get a lot of rake from installing the strutteks in the rear like some people have.

I'd install the strutteks first then measure from the ground to the top of your fenderwells to see the height difference between front and rear. Then you'll be able to order the right size spacers instead of guessing.

just keep in mind that with a spacer lift on our trucks the actual lift you get is about 1.5x the height of the spacer.

Also from what I've seen generally there needs to be about a 1/2 inch difference between the front and rear spacers in order to level the truck perfectly. For example, 2" front/1.5" rear spacers. But if the strutteks give you a lot of lift in the back then you might be ok with 2" front 1" rear.

I'd like to install a similar setup with Strutteks and spacers to level. What did you end up installing? How did it work out? Any issues?

Stay away from Strutteks. They are cheap for a reason, 2 years later and they are worn out. Vehicle use has been grocery getter, they are a waste of time and money.

Thanks for responding. Did you end up using a spacer in the front?

I installed 4 new strutteks and 2.0 front and 1.5 rear btf spacers at the same time about 2 years ago. The struts are holding up fine and the ride is OK. I just keep tearing the rubber on my ball joints. May have to invest in btf control arms w/uniball... but other wise happy with the strutteks and btf spacers.
