hahaha still early morning for me ill rephase that. i have a rugged ridge throttle body spacer kit. i know how to do the spacer part, but i dont know what the three spacers and shorter bolts are for? was planing on puting it on today but dident want to take the tb apart and not no what to do with them spacers.
haha. early morning. idk about TB spacers. i would trust diesels post... if you still wanna do something fun/easy/slightly functional, then mod your intake. mine consists of the orriginal rubber hose coming off the TB, a piece of old 3" (or so) exhaust tubing sprayed silver for looks/extra HP... i know, i should have gone w/ an electric green color to get even more HP...
and an after market filter for like 25-30 bucks. ther setup is just long enough to get the filter to wedge over the housing of fuses, or whatever the little box of wiring is on that side... like i said, its cheap and easy, and the HP gaion is a direct result of that: probably no real gain, but it still breaths easier, which accounts for something.

He wants to know what the spacers are for.they are for the throttle linkage to raise it to make up for added height of the spacer .I had one and yeah they don't do a thing,but that's what the spacers are for

X3 on the "Scam" if you think about it how can a TB that only lets air in get more HP from dropping the air farther? Just doesn't make any difference IMHO...Now if you bore the TB and put on a header, CAI and a better breathing exhaust that will give you some HP but not a lot...Tj

CAI work good as long as you have an outside source bringing in the cold air or it will basically be like pulling in warm/hot air from the motor...Tj
