1/2" thick aluminum front strut spacer that isn't generic Ebay???
Need to add a little lift to the front and want to throw a strut spacer in. My googlefu is only showing me no name ebay stuff. I realize it is just a piece of aluminum but would prefer something from a reputable company.
Any suggestions?
Anyone run the poly ones from Wheelers Off Road?

I put in the Rough Country leveling kit: 2in Suspension Lift Kit for 2010-2019 Toyota 4-Runner 4wd | Rough Country(R)
They are 1" spacer in the front (2" lift) and 1" rear. They work great. Be sure to to a wheel alignment.

From my understanding a half inch thick plate shouldn't require new studs but that isn't mentioned in their description at all.

Not what you asked... but it's a cut ring of aluminum. It doesn't matter whether a name brand company sent the dxf file to the laser cut shop or a no-name company did. I'd buy the cheap one. You really can't screw it up unless it doesn't fit where it's supposed to. Almost any hard weatherproof material will work. You could probably even just go buy a cutting board at Costco and cut your own with a jig saw.

I can't answer this. The dealer installed this for me when they replaced my XREAS shocks under warranty.

I used to have those. Longer bolts were required, which means you have to breakdown the coil assembly. Dobinson’s sells a spacer plate, but I think it only gives a 1/2” lift.
