Installed belltech drop struts on my 09 awd. Did the single smaller spacer intending for a 31.5 drop but ended up at 30.5 instead. So... What's up with that? I can take them apart to add the extra spacer, but seems kinda odd that I ended up with a totally different ride height than I should have.

Do you have stock size tires? I only ask, because that can throw off the measurement. You might need to look at part numbers, may be incorrect springs.

Stock size tires. I need to replace a rear ride height sensor because It broke so my rear bags are totally deflated, but I doubt that's going to make much difference.
I recommend getting the metal threaded rod replacements. I bought a set of them and they worked great. You could even make your own. Search this forum for more exact details.

Graveyard bump. I ended up putting an extra 16mm spacer in and that fixed it. Then I got sick of my ride height sensors as.breaking and went 31.5 coils in the back. Once I did that, the front ended up higher than I expected. Probably gonna take a spacer out and see if it gives it a little rake, it's pretty much flat now.

Anyways, if your ride height up front seems wonky, it could be caused by the tears.

So you have two 16mm spacers on each front strut and the 31.5 drop springs in the rear, and that has you level at 31” all the around?
