Default No "spacer" for Teraflex 2.5" spring lift

According to the parts list that came with my Lift this week I should have a couple 1/2" spacers, I guess for my rear springs? They arent in the kit and I was just wondering if they modified it so you didn't need them.It isnt in the picture on the front of the instructions. Anyone have this lift know anything about this?

Is it talking about the factory spring isolators on the top?

If you did not order Teraflex shocks you do not need the rear spacer (they actually act as coil retainers under full extension). With factory shocks + extensions your rear springs do not need the coils retaining spacers to stay in place so they are not included in the kit.

x2 Unless you got the kit with Teraflex shocks there will not be a spacer.

I bought the kit with the extenders instead of with shocks. I did not get the spacers as indicated. I did end up having to buy the rear spacers because my heavy bumpers it was sagging more in the back. Teraflex has front and rear 's in different heights to dial it in.

Unless you have the #1251000 2.5" coil and TeraFlex shock kit, you will not have the front and rear 1/2" coil spacer/guide.

There are front spacer/guides? I only had rear ones on my coil/shock kit.

Not at all. The 2.5" lift has more like 3.5" front lift and 3" rear lift and not the 2.5" it is named.

X2. I think Teraflex misspoke--I was pretty diligent going over the parts list, and just installed this a couple weeks ago.
