@@nickle549 no because the cradle spacers are near half the thickness of the trans/engine mount spacers. I have problems with hood clearance so it's something I'm trying
Wouldnt using both the cradle spacers to drop cradle and the mount spacers to raise engine put the axle alignment back to what it was before you started. Except for raising the front of the car by looks like 1/4 to 3/8" ?
The cradle spacers are exactly half the width of the mount spacers and I'm also having hood clearance problems as well. So as soon as I solve that issue I'll be getting rid of the cradle spacers
More quality products from zzp lol. I’ve had issues with at least 65% of the parts I’ve bought from them. Really wish they’d do better for the 3800 guys. Can’t even line up freaking bolt holes?!?! Lmao
@@Grand_PrixGTP they’re modified fuel rails that are now discontinued almost burned my car down. They weren’t finished and the sharp edged main fuel connect damaged the oring in my quick connect fitting causing a fuel leak. I had to sand it down myself lol
@@Grand_PrixGTP thank you and yes both are ok I luckily smelled the e85 as I was driving with the window open. Had to pull over and get the car towed home
good video. A must for lowered w-bodies. It does help to take the dog bones off to get those engine and trans mount spacers.
Haha yea I did that my first time around and it was a pain getting them back onl
For lowered wbody, do you need all 6? Or one or the other
@@nickle549 technically you only need the trans and lower engine mount spacers
If you are lowering the cradle, and then raising the engine and trans, won't that put the engine in the exact same spot as before?

Actually cradle spacers dont lower the cradle they raise the body so would raise your center of gravity not lower it
True
They go between the sub frame and the body there for lowering the engine
A throttle body turn down adapter would’ve saved you from cutting that hood.
Yea I thought about it. I look more into it

Yea I emailed them with correct measurements to make the spacer universal
Agreed man. I have had so many issues with theyre 3800 products it’s actually ridiculous.
