From Hellwig:

"Part number is 7949. This kit will include an 8" bolt and a 4.5" spacer,
washers, bushings, and locknuts. "

Enjoy!

P.S. Took about two weeks to get this info. At least now it is a complete kit!

Another update:

The kit I used was with Eibach springs.
For stock springs you need a taller kit.

Tompumped noted the 6" spacer requirements and found the kit 7949 matches that on the Summit site.

I just got off the phone with summit. There is a kit I could piece together with a 6" spacer, but i'd have to be stupid to buy it. I think it would cost me 80 dollars, not to mention i'd have to pay to ship back mine.

I already spent 65 shipped for the kit. Then because it was wrong I had to go to autozone and buy the cheesiest end links for thirty five dollars. The end links have rubber bushings and 10mm threaded ends.

They have the nerve to call it an improved design. I agree the solid part is improved, but the ends are small. I could be wrong but I doubt it. Before I had a 3/8 bolt with red es bushings which were probably almost as good as the hellwig bushings.

I'm either going to piece together an es kit if they have 7/16 bushings or just buy the bolt and spacer from hellwig and keep the kit. I honestly don't see how a 4.5" spacer would work for you the angle was extreme.

Ouch! To think the parts I bought years ago were competitive with Addco's pricing, now they are asking twice to three times that amount!

I love my kit, but it seems Hellwig is pricing themselves out of the market.

Hellwig's engineer says the kit with a 9" bolt and 5.5" spacer is part # 7952

Must be that $80 kit Tompumped mentioned.
