How much back spacing on your rims? All you had to do was crank to fit?

Man that sucks. From the sounds of it (2 heims joints, hardware, 2 special $8 bolts, and some brackets), I might try making my own kit instead of shelling out $262.

How hard do you think it would be?

No idea on the backspacing, and the wheels/tires are now gone, so I can't help with that question.

I have RC leveling kit, adjusted up just enough to be level with rear, which has a 3" block, instead of 2".

Anyone know why no more spacer???

Just this week I ordered a second arm support kit for my Silverado because I've had such good experience with the one that's been on my Sierra for a few years now. But, little did I know they slightly changed the design and no longer include the sway bar mount spacers.... Well, I NEED those spacers! Won't clear my sway bar at full lock.

Anyone here happen to have any of those spacers and bolts they'd be interesting in letting go?
I haven't tried calling Cognito yet to see what they have to say, or even if and how much they'd sell those parts for separate.... just got done with a half attempt at installing late tonight before realizing I need those spacers.....

Also having clearance issues with my steering stabilizer too, but that's a whole 'nuther story... might have to remove it, or not rum the pitman arm support which seems stupid.
