Hi folks. Some time ago a kind member sent me these bits in the centre and right hand side as part of a package of bits and pieces. Can anyone confirm what they are/are for?
The bits on the left are two packers for my poly airbags for when I finally put in my +35 mm rear springs

Hi,
The bits in the middle are spacers to lift the suspension. They are bolted under the front or rear spring saddle. You will see two bolts holding the spring saddle to the axle at the front and rear.
The yellow bits are also for lifting the suspension but they just sit under the spring and are held in under spring tension. They lift the height equal to the thickness of the spacer.
Cheers
Nino.

Hi Landy/Nino and many thanks. The round steel bits are a wee bit larger than the internal diameter of the yellow bits, so will initially sit inside the yellow bits almost at the bottom, and no doubt soon both will be flush at the bottom in the saddle for my slight lift.
Edit. Have just realised that the steel bits will no doubt be bolted down tight at the bottom to be flush with the bottom of the yellow bits.

i can't say what brand of kit you have. But my OME kit was that the metal plate are bolted UNDER the spring saddle. I.e AXLE-SPACER-SADDLE bolt this all together SPRING-YELLOW SPACER or fit the yellow spacer at the bottom of the spring. Both side should be the same.
If your yellow spacer is flat, fit to the flat end if stepped, fit to the stepped end of the spring. Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
