A couple of items in the truck would change the preload more then this spacer.

If the vehicle was at a fixed height and you added the spacer- I see the issue but that's not the case.
To be honest, Im not sure how it works or plays a part on the G8X.

But I did a front end leveling kit on my former raptor. I believe it was just a top hat spacer but that did in fact make my front end much more stiff. I ended up removing those for longer springs shortly afterwards.

So based on my limited experience, I assumed it would do the same thing on the G8X.
