12.5mm spacer installed

Yeah I can't weld for shit. Did couple of spot welds on the x pipe until I can drive it to exhaust shop.

While at it I also filled the tranny mount with silicon.

Might be a silly question but why did you fill your trans mount with silicon:shrug:

 

[Niz55]

Less movement in the drivetrain but without the noise and vibration.

Actually I refilled it with window weld. Works great. Google it and you will find good results.

What size spacer can you go up to in the front without needing extended studs? Do you need the extended studs for this 12.5 mm spacer?

I just got new wheels, been thinking about adding a spacer, because the stocks were tucked in.

 

[Niz55]

Maximum you can safely go is 5mm. More than than you need extended studs. If you decide to run 7mm-10mm you need find one that is wheel centric spacer so your wheel will be centered once installed and honestly you really cant find any under 12.5mm.

The car looks absolutely gorgeous! The Eibach are actually really nice riding springs and the ride little firmer than the frpp. Honestly best springs from the 3 available. Drop is perfect. I also added 4mm rear spring spacer for the rake look that I always like on my cars. Raised the back maybe .25 inch or less perfect stance.

Car hasn't been driven for 3 months and it is unbelievabley diry but here are some pics.

Really nice mod. Spacers for $45 from CJ and studs came out too $40.

As you can see I am running my close lug nuts and they fit and measure perfect with the studs and spacer. Not a fan of those open end lug nuts.

Believe it or not, the front still has more room.

Once I get my alignment I will check if the rear needs spacers or not.as of now, it looks pretty even front and rear. I do have 5mm and 3mm on hand if I need to add to the rear.

Car looks great.
I was looking for spacers as well and out of curiosity checked the GT350's front and rear track widths. 63.3″ front, 63.7″ rear stock so Ford actually gave the car an almost 'square' setup. I'm wondering if the car's behavior on the street and track would change much with an extra inch of front track.

Honestly it shouldn't maybe on the track but average driver like me would not notice the difference.

This is was my 16 gt with 350 replicas and 12.5mm spacers All around lowered on sport lines.

[MENTION=15675]Niz55[/MENTION], are you using a gas MIG or fluxcore?

flux core. The welds are not coming out good whatever i do. Plus the wire feeds way too fast even on the lowest setting.
