2 inch lift kit question on what bits to re-use

Quick question?

Got the 2in lift kit to fit - starting with the tub as it's off for under-sealing and a paint job.

What original bits do you re-use? Just has the plastic spacers, nuts and bolts.

I'm guessing some new washers wouldn't go amiss, but are you expected to re-use any of the rubber discs that were in the original fittings, or just sit the spacers direct onto metal?

Yes reuse the rubber washers .
If you don't then theoretically you won't lift it 2" , you'll only lift it 2" minus the height of the original rubber spacers .
Apart from that you should have everything you need

Cheers Animal - any preference on those going on top or below the new spacer?

I put them on top on mine , but don't think it makes much difference really TBH.

id say top so the vibratons are suppressed before they reach the cab

Why not use wooden blocks as spacers less vibration, especially when the wood starts to rot......................................

Only joking,,,,,,,,,,I know it's been done.
PS
Never use wood
