    Can someone help me identify what type of strut extension this is? What it’s called and if I can buy them somewhere? This lift was on the truck when I bought it. I believe the front struts are stock and they just put these extensions on to lift. I bought new suspension and they are 2.5” diameter. They will not fit into the top of the mount. So I’m looking for these with a larger diameter. Thanks for any help you can offer!!

    If you have to run a spacer lift for your setup, I would personally rather run a standard top hat spacer.

    I have attached a photo of the type I’m taking about, circled in red.

    What brand and model of 2.5’s did you purchase? Maybe you can run smaller spacers or forgo the spacers altogether to achieve the same lift.

    To answer your original question, I’m not sure where to find your current style of spacer.

    So I got the Bilsteon 6112 which are adjustable. So figured that would be all I needed. But after a lot of video research… when the C clips are in the top notch, the ride is absolutely garbage. So I don’t want to go that route. I can do the spacers. Just wasn’t sure about it

    That's part of some huge lift kit. Like 6" or more as a guess. You probably have a full subframe drop on there as well

    Take those parts off and send to Hawaii. That’s gotta be over 10” of lift if your shocks are extended close to 6” like that.
