Hi all,
Can some with this setup in the rear post a pic, mainly interested in the upper section and the lower section.
If you have used additional spacers what is the measurement of the spacer.
Thanks in advance.

no photos, but I used 50mm spacers to match the lift.
I would also recommend putting the spacers above the coilrite not below...I put mine below & have managed to pinch a hole in one of the bags:(

you would think, the kit i have is from someone who used in a 4in lift and the spacer is not four inches.

i have two rubber support pieces, one for the top as per figure b and the spacer below.
just interested to see others fittings in situ. :)

you can get longer bags for a 2'' lift - maybe these are what you have?

If you put the spacers above the bag you will risk tearing out the airline fitting from movement. I found the hole in the metal top plate to be a bit small as it is, but with the flex of the spacer at 2 or so inchs it will damage it.
I have 2+ in the defender and have not pinched a bag and I do a fair bit of work off road at max articulation with all sorts of loads, fire fighting slip ons, logs, lick blocks, etc

if you see the link i put up it shows a rubber piece going in the top section, the spacer i have fitted in the bottom and it is funnily enough 2inch.
seems i have it right so will leave as is for now. :)

I was replying more so to Alex's suggestion. Yep that is how it should be as per "B" except the top plate was steel in mine not rubber. Sounds like you got it all sorted:)
