Are you sure about the ideal ownership, im pretty sure ideal is privately owned(they also owned and just sold SK tools) and sata is owned by Apex tool /Bain Capital who owns gearwrench.
@@CreativeMechanic ya, Apex tool owns gearwrench and sata, they have been pushing sata as there Amazon, direct to consumer brand and are trying to elevate gearwrench as the professional brand. Ideal is still privately owned and operated with the recent sell of SK Tool to Great Star. Unfortunately with the closing of Armstrong and Allen Apex Tool, Bain Capital and Mitt Romney have eliminated more American jobs and diminished our manufacturing capability just that much further, and this isn't the first time they have done this
Hey man, on your video of you lifting the Rav4 with Northwoods suspension, what size is the spacer you put on top of the strut? Is it the 1", 1 1/2", or 2"? And also, does the extended sway bar bracket come with it? Or was that something you had to get somewhere else, because I don't see it on their website.

It’s a 2” spacer kit. The extension for the sway bar was something he tried out, but now they sell a shorter tie rod which is better
@@CreativeMechanic Awesome. Thank you!!
