Zusammenfassung:A suspension assembly (30) for a high-clearance vehicle having a forward direction of travel and a first operating clearance height, the suspension assembly (30) including an upright spindle journal (70, 72), a main suspension spindle (66, 68) received in said journal (70, 72) for rotating and sliding within said journal (70, 72), and a wheel hub mounting bracket (74, 76) being coupled to a lower end of said main suspension spindle (66, 68). In order for the spacing between tires (14, 16) at opposite sides of the vehicle to remain the same, with or without the usage of the spacer assemblies (30), each spacer assembly (30) includes a coupler spindle (82) extending parallel to, and offset inwardly from, a pivot axis of the associated main suspension spindle (66, 68) by a distance calculated to result in the desired tire spacing, this coupler spindle (82) being received in the bore at the top of the associated wheel hub mounting bracket (74, 76).
