Hello all, read a bunch of threads on the "pipe mod" and spring spacers etc. I have a 2007 outlander 650. I was not happy with the soft front end so I went with te idea of spring spacers. I have read how many have used 2" cam locks. I went with the billet spacers sold on e bay, and they measure out at 2" ID.

I installed them with no issues put them on the bottom part of the shock, like I read was the proper place to put them. And they did a great job of stiffening up the front, and was pleased.

My question is they are not nice and snug to the shock body like I assumed they would be there is play from side to side and if you hit it with a rubber mallet you can move the spacer enough that it comes off center. now granted they dont slide so far to the point that anything slips off. but I was wondering all thoughs out there that have done "pipe mods" cam locks, and ordered spacers like I did is that extra inside dia play normal and should not be an issue?
