Should take your own advise and started a need help with Sway Bar measures, instead of in a Performance Damper thread. But someone else needs to know the difference in parts.

Your For Sales listings became very relevant to me in the fact that you have like 6 different one with $3000 plus in GS parts listed for the whole last year un-sold. You came across with this helpful to the community bs. Yet with all these parts you have installed, and for sale on a GS. All you do is come here to sell parts it seems. 4the GS parts no less. I don't see any post where you have provided any reviews, info or help to anyone here about anything you have used in the 4th Gen GS Forum at all. Nothing. That's what we do here to help the Community. Take it easy and have a Nice day!

Just a search of your post, because you ask other to give you so much info.

Thank you for your input. I agree with you, I haven’t posted much input on my findings and that due to most of the info being here already. I appreciate the work and effort everyone puts into posting great threads like yours.

You’re fully entitled to your own opinion.

There is no option! It's termed an 'opinion'...

Is it just me? Or does it not look like someone has multiple supply’s of parts they stock and are selling over again, and again? The Market Place listing are Facts!

Yep! It's really a concern...

Hopefully you and some others will report this so it can be checked out to see if his multitude of 'for sale' listings are legit and our members that may buy from him are safe to do so.

These conversations have gotten way off topic…your thread has been very helpful for sure. As far my parts for sale it happens when I part out my current vehicle.

With your 324 posts I saw of your many 'For Sale' items you must literally have a collection of 'current' vehicles you part-out on a regular basis. Why are you parting-out so many vehicles and so often? Is it a money-making business for you?

When looking at your 324 posted listings I saw some of the many items were listed for sale separately multiple times like you had extras of some unique parts, which is a really strangle circumstance for a non-dealer member.

I have to say, I'm highly suspicious of your modus operandi...

Now I see that your Market Place listings are drastically reduced... Why is that?

Did you delete most of your Market Place and classified listings? Why?

I saw that Figs has a half inch spacer for the rear shocks, might need that as well (or some sort of spring spacer like you have, which seems like a better idea), since this vehicle does a decent amount of towing. Do you have a template for the rubber spring spacer you made?

Not sure your 2mm spacer is doing much, I think the RWD just sits nicely without reverse rake as is. I did the math and more or less came to the conclusion that there is no way to overshoot spacer sizing given my 14.5" F and 14" R hub to fender measurements (the springs would be at risk of falling out before rake could be achieved on an AWD) and made my own rubber spacers out of 3mm thick 70A durometer rubber. Lots of caliper and tape measure action, followed by some sloppy cuts with a razor blade by hand. I made a spacer for both the upper and lower for a total of 6mm, and the end result is 14.5" F and 14.375" R hub to fender. Just looking at it, it looks even now. The rear looked absolutely dumped before. It sounds subtle, but visually it's quite significant. Getting pictures that are true to life is difficult though.

Big thanks for the rubber spacer idea, I would've hated these otherwise great springs without them.

Edit: unfortunately after a week the rear ride height is back at 14" somehow, rubber spacers didn't work out. I have some universal polyurethane parts on the way to give a shot.

edit#2: used energy suspension 9.6119 top and 9.6104 bottom and the rear is now at 14.25", hopefully it stays right there. Either way I think I'm done chasing small height adjustments.
