An absolute MUST when thinking about your first upgrade. The Model Y, even in it's Performance Model, has more body roll than you'd like. It was one of my biggest complaints when driving the first few months. After installation, body roll was greatly reduced. Cornering on-ramps and turns with a...

I had these on for a few thousand miles before getting coil overs. The car looked and and felt great with and without a full load of passengers. I got the moderate stiffness, and the car was planted. Highly recommend!

These are exactly what I was expecting. I waited over a year for them. Pandemic backorders and all. It took me about 6 hours to install with help from a friend. The fronts were the worst part.

Want to stand out among other Cybtertrucks? This is a great place to start. If you're trying to decide between the 30mm and 50mm, go with the 50mm. The 2" that it kicks each tire out absolutely toughens the stance of the Cybertruck. I found these spacers to be EXTREMELY well made and easy to...
