Spring seats



Curious before I start installing my 6” lift: is this difference in spring seat height normal? The passenger side spring seat is taller.

I don't believe that thick spacer is stock at all. It is probably and Ebay leveling kit.

The coil spring should sit on the nylon insulator.

Yes that’s the leveling kit that’s coming off but I am talking about the factory part underneath

I'm not appreciating much of a difference in the nylon spacer at all. If any, it could be just wear from where the spring was riding close to the edge.

No this part. The stock components.

Interesting the cup is slightly different in height?
I'd look at closely. The short one almost looks like it just compressed? Might just need replaced.

I think they’re hard metal. I’ve wondered if one was from a 2x4 for some reason.

Yes, should be cast, but the short one almost has a look like it was compacted slightly but I think that is just from the slightly higher camera angle.

It had a lot more threads protruding back when I put the leveling spacers on.

Supreme suspensions I think? Half the amazon price plus shipping sounds fair.
