Hint, it weighs nearly 5 pounds, is made of milspec DOM steel, has wall diameters of 5/8" and is held together by black oxide grade 8 hex head bolts:

For those in the know

Chewy its been 2 already! That item is just a recent design change I did to improve the aesthetic appeal. Obviously the strength is waaaaaaaaaaaaay overkill, but at least it will put anyones fears to rest.

Swedish..nah, thats a genunine USSTEEL pen!s enlarger, bolt it on and the pendulum weight makes you have the same inconvenience I now have, "dipping" while trying to pee standing in front of the toilet ;)

I know Beez, buuuuuuut, they look purty when new, keep em a little lubed or a dab of paint and all will be fine. Maybe Ill switch to zinc plate.

I bought something like that, a split bearing retainer at Miller Bearing in florida. I was looking for something to lift my wifes xj just a inch or so with out taking the front apart. I found one that had an 2 1/8 inner diam and 3 1/4 outer and was .75 inch thick. Just compressed the spring, slide down the isolator, and put the two halves together use the bolts to hold together, and tack the halves together and release the spring. Cake. And added 1.5 to her 3" lift. Can find these split bearing retainers in just about any size they say. $9 for each side. I'm a junior achiever in the cheap xj world...

Some guy was selling a prototype of his on ebay, sounds exactly like what he was selling.
