    Default Bajaron sway bar links spacers?

    Just ordered the Bajaron sway bar for my 2019 Spyder RT Ltd from Lamonster. I noticed in the picture of the product it appears they now use spacers for links. However, the instructions I downloaded shows only the use of the bolts with no spacers. Nothing in the instruction address using spacers. Does the Bajaron sway bar now require spacers for the end links?

    IIRC there has been some recent discussion of how to easily fit the spacers, but I reckon your best bet to find out for sure would be to PM Baja Ron.... Or if you like, you could check out his 'Sponsor Page' (see below) & the contact details there & you could give him a call direct!

    Received sway bar about noon today. Finished install about 4:00. Took my time and a lot of coffee. Super glue did the trick with the spacers. Everything went smoothly per instructions. Too wet and rainy to test, but I'm sure it will be an improvement.

    The 24" recommendation is from the sway bar frame channel to the ground. Not the total amount of lift needed as you start with 4" or so of ground clearance to that frame member. Then, if you leave the rear wheel on the ground and lift to an angle. That also reduces the needed lift a few more inches. And you only need this amount of lift for the actual old bar removal and new bar insertion. Everything before and after this 5 minute process can be done with just enough lift to get under the Spyder.

    Lifting isn't the only option. Some have used 2 motorcycle ramps off the back of their truck. Others have used a hole (stairway) in their basement. One customer had a man-hole in their driveway. They pulled the cover and rolled the Spyder over the hole to do the bar swap.

    I am not telling you, you SHOULD do it. Just that, done properly. It isn't as bad as some might imagine.

    I used some truck jack stands under the front A arms for safety and a floor jack on the frame for lifting and it worked fine.
