Default Superformance Quick Jack Spacer tube length?

Hi all,

First post here, recently acquired SP02400 and I'm changing out the bumperettes for quick jacks.

What's the correct size (length) of the tube spacer (ferules) for quick jacks. When I took overriders off I had a two pieces of tube on each bolt. Meaning there was the one you could see then another small pieces behind the body that fell out when I pulled threaded rod out. I imagine it's better easier to install if they are one piece.

Just need to know correct length for proper spacing. Hope that makes sense to you all; thanks in advance for any help!!!

Cheers!!

Just as long as you don't intend on jacking the car up using those quick jacks!

A better reference to use as follows:
The tubes in front should extend to 1” behind the fiberglass of the front radiator opening directly across from it. The rear tubes project out approximately 2”.
You will want to use washers against the frame mounting points to fine tune the projections so the quick-jacks are perpendicular to the ground. Remember, cosmetic use only.
Happy to send photos if you email me. (See below)
Also: Just for fun, start a note pad to record which quick-jack and how often these little sweeties jump out take a chunk out of your shins when you walk by them carelessly.
Left rear is ahead on my list with right front a close second.
