I believe it’s the same height as your stock set up.
I went with “Modern Spare” because they were $100 cheaper and in stock. That was 2 1/2 months ago and I still don’t have it. Been checking and things just aren’t moving like they were pre covid.

Yes the whole kit was about $525 IIRC a few months ago. They weren’t in stock then just like Modern Spare. I bought for a trip last month but I’m actually glad we didn’t take the GT350. Parking and really busy city driving is not a strong suit of the GT350. Took the Mrs SUV.
I’ll let you guys know how the Modern Spare works out.

Is the spacer needed on the 350?

The spacer is only needed if using the spare for the front wheels.

Exactly.

Just got the notice….The Modern Spare shipped today.
This whole supply chain disruption thing is going to be felt for a long, long time.
Good thing I’m retiring, I wouldn’t have the patience for this

Imagine trying to complete something large like a building, with millions of parts and pieces. I know of developments (like residential multifamily) that are delayed months because they literally can not buy appliances. Not that they can't get the appliances they want, they can't get ANY suitable/applicable appliances that will work.

I just bought 4 sets of appliances for some penthouse units and it took 2+ months to get them and another 4 weeks of ****ery dealing with stupid little things like installation kits, etc.

The entire world commerce is in such a weird state. There's all this demand, all this money ready and waiting but no supply. People that make or assemble something are held up for component backorders.

Everything from textiles to computer chips. Raw materials aren't that bad off but if it's anything involving any improved component or assembly, shit is haywire right now.

Retiring, cash in hand to build a retirement home and looking to relocate???
The above doesn’t mean anything. Bummer for us.

A friend of mine has a complete AA kit for sale in the Augusta GA area, but he's too lazy to ship it. If anyone is interested I might be able to deliver it to CMP, Roebling, or Road Atlanta. PM me if interested.

While we are talking about disruption, my third world problem was the dishwasher died….long story short 5 months lead time…any product outside Australia …? Apparently sea containers have gone from 1700 to 8000 / 10000 if you can get one. Everyone everywhere is impacted. Mail sent by air out of LA 7 - 8 weeks.
