1 pc design will allow for better balance and less axel vibration.

Im doing this now, using 2pc spacers, and I cant get the top 2 bolts off on each side. I took the exhaust off for the passenger side, but there still isnt enough room to get up there, any suggestions?

great story I got a feeling you've never seen a set

The tolerances on 2pc spacers are too tight to produce any kind of unbalance due to weight or size. I couldn't measure a difference between both pieces to a fraction of a mm

want some pics? need me to take a pic of them on a scale for you? I can let you borrow a set and see if the vibrations won't brighten up your day

Hi guys, I'm also with Hirevs2k. I plan on doing this but I don't know the torque spec for the control a-arm and axle bolts as well. Thanks in advance.

Guys. Hope you read to the bottom. Don't need to undo the top arm. Pop the bottom ball joint off and it gives you mire than enough room to pull out the half shaft to install. Much easier and a lot faster.
