One Ton Garage spacers installed, xB

Got the spacers installed. Thanks to Van at www.onetongarage.com for the quick shipping. Great product, as many of you already know. Took me about 45 mins to install. Instructions were clear and concise.

Before-

After-

I also got a cover from a user on SL. Looks like a brown bag lunch.. lol Thought i'd share a picture.....

Laters.

does the car cover take up a lot of space while being stored in your car or does it compact pretty good?

It rolls up and goes into a pillow case type of bag... it takes up quite of bit of space in the rear cargo area.

From the dealer, too much.

you can find them on ebay for 180ish, i think. Just make sure you get the OEM one, for a snug fit.

Maybe it's just me...but that just doesn't seem like much of a difference.

MSRP is $219.00 and thats what most dealerships are going to charge you for it. So it's really up to you who you want to buy it from a dealer (sparks) or ebay.

P.S. Sorry for jacking the thread.

i think cierrecart might be talking about the spacer before/after pics...

imho they look great... might not seem like much (about 10mm i think), but it makes a significant difference if you're into "flushness"...

Yeah, they're +35's, and I know there are more "appropriate" offsets, but I'm happy with the results.

Also, no difference in handling that I can feel. It had been lowered, with low profile tires, front strut tower bar, and a rear sway before the spacers, so if it made a difference, I'm not going to notice. On a stock xB, maybe someone can gauge the difference... :D
