    Koni 82's - Brake line spacer front passenger side

    Hi All,

    I received a spacer kit CH0001 with my Koni 82 shocks.

    I believe this goes between the brake line and the backside (engine side) housing at the wheel.

    I am not sure how a spacer can be fitted without draining the brake fluid.

    Can someone please shed some light...

    Thanks

    Not sure about the spacer ... I run Koni 88's, which are the same size or even slightly bigger, and I don't have a spacer ?

    OK - now i know what it is....

    I didn't need one in the front - only in the rear, and you most likely don't need it anyway, but the bolt that holds the brake distribution block to the diff can be undone ( no loss of brake fluid ), and then insert spacer underneath, and use the new bolt to re-fix.

    I was also told that running with stock springs in 2" lift shock is dangerous as the springs may pop up if the wheel drop in a pot hole or something.

    I know it is possible but what would be chance of this happening though...!

    That will mainly happen on big lifts and extreme angles.
    You should be right IMO,
    You can fit limiting straps but really not required for a 2" lift
