I need to add a packer to the front springs to raise my ride height a bit. I have some 3mm nylon sheet that would work, does anyone have the dimensions of the standard spacer ring used by Jaguar? If I add a single 3mm packer, how much ride height would I gain?

Is there any way to get the packing piece in position without having to completely remove the spring? I'm familiar with both the threaded rod in the spring pan bolt holes and the giant threaded rod in the middle of the spring methods of removing the spring but would like to avoid them if at all possible.

 

first go to

everydayxj.com

and see what David has.

 

From what I can see there, David doesn't have the dimensions of the packer or an alternative way to install it.

What have I missed?

 

His items are mostly very inexpensive ... the idea was to not bother with homemade
and just buy them.

 

Took a bit of rummaging but I *knew* I had one of these stashed away !


O.D. = 6.125"
I.D. = 5.000"

Thickness = .125"



Each packer makes 3x difference in ride height as I recall. So, for example, 3 packers alters height by .375"

Many thanks Doug, that's just the info I need. But did you mean to say 1 packer = .375"?

 

Oooops.

Yes, I did.

So, a single .125" packer makes a .375" difference in height

Thanks for catching that flub

Cheers
