If your not fitting these sort of spacers to your Nivomat shocks with raised springs then you will flog them out in quick time as they will fight against the spring.

I would email Rockauto and ask them they are pretty good and I think Outback Armour stock the mounts, again email and ask.....

These spacers for the Nivomat shocks are from Ironman....

Only a matter of time before things like these are banned, Ironman in NZ doesnt sell them as no longer allowed spacers on shocks here. Worlds gone crazy

I had some Monroe shocks sent to me recently, dated 2003!
One was limp, and the other started to leak after opening!
About 6 -8 weeks later I finally received replacement ( thinking they where making a new set) dated 2015?
Never again !
I do beleive shocks should selected around your springs rating.
Once upon a time ...
Sports cars had firm suspension, and 4x4s had soft suspension to take out the bumps.
Extra payloads etc these days has altered due to individual needs.
You can still have 2" to 3" lift whilst maintaining a stock softer ride in spring configuration.
Or stock height, yet heavier springs for load.
The type of ride you want should primarily be started with your spring configuration, then select shocks to suit.
If your going to be doing a dollar on corrugated roads etc for extended time, best go with a mono valve, daily sealed road, twin valve shock.
Opinion only

I've ordered a new set of Nivomat rear shocks from Murchisons and the lift kit spacers also. Hopefully they will come before Christmas.
Still might have to swap out the King springs for something softer though if it's still too stiff. This lift kit drama is costing me a fortune!

Anyone live in Perth with an Ironman or Old Man Emu lift wanna take me for a spin?
