Thread: Coil spacers

somebody will correct me if i am wrong but coil spacers i beleive are not aproved to be used legaly (i may be wrong) secondly have u cut your rear guards? 31' tyres no matter how much lift will still rub on full articulation best option imo is trim the guards back a bit and probs should be fixed

don't really want to cut the guards upthough, that leads to me wanting way more toys than i can afford!!

haha know the feeling i just wish i could legaly run 31's legaly

these are cheaper and will out last the the rubber ones.

100mm alloy solid 2x 3/8 holes, longer bolts.
the one in the pic is 40mm tall under 30mm will be hard to see, specially if its painted black

cost me $48 for the two.

oh and for the front just get alloy hollow bar. to clear the shock end.

cheers phil

Ray,

I have used ProComp 35mm rubber spacers on my D2 in the past and found the following:

1) Running a OME 762's in the rear my shocks would top out. You need to use 25mm or less to avoid this.

2) The spacers compressed my springs and when I eventually removed them, I had lost about 15-20mm in ride height.

3) They do damp the suspension feedback and make the ride slightly quieter.

4) Main reason I put them in was to lift the rear and avoid ripping the bumper of all the time - to this end they did the job.

Would I use them again? No, I am going the longer spring/polyair route to get the rear up and keep it up.

Cheers,

Franz

urethane spacers dampen the noise down a heap as well. i had some 30mm ones in that effectively gave a 22mm lift. they went well....
