Default radiator lowering spacers

Does anyone know the length of the front and rear radiator lowering spacers for a A&A kit? I seem to have misplaced them and need to mock up a quick substitute. Thank you.

I believe they are 2", but they sure don't look like it on my car.

If you're not equipped to cut and weld, try a 1.4" and 7/8" spacer. You can go to home depot, buy a piece of 1/2 ID black iron pipe and cut it for spacers.

Do you have any pictures of the mod? I'm trying to see how I can reclaim more ground clearance.

Gotta make sure you check the post date, that post is ~12 years old lol. It's not an uncommon mod, there should be plenty of old posts detailing the process. Google search seems to work better than forum search, good luck!
