Default Susp. Body Height Spacers?

Quick question guys,

Where are the body height spacers on suspension setups?

And how much are spacers to buy?

what vehicle are you talking about as eseries are not a seperate chassis and therefore have no spacers...They are all welded together. Only seperate chassis'd vehicles have a spacer for the body to clear the chassis rails.

The spacers are just a tool that ford uses to get the car at a predetermined height for checking/adjusting the wheel alignment.

Well some of this detail in your original post could have made all the difference. Notice how you got a useful reply in under 10mins when you supplied this information.
