I noticed that I had a spacer on on side, passenger I think and now that I got the springs back its missing. Do I need the spacer? Do I need one for both sides? Where can I get them?
My searching for a vendor and info on the spacer has been fruitless. Al help is appreciated! The spacer was the size of the axle perch and about a 1/4" thick I think.

It is part of the side mount spare option to offset the weight of the tire and carrier on the drivers side. The spacer is 1/2 inch thick. Tom | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

Otherwise if all you want is a apacer just make it.
