Coil Spring Spacers...will this work

a buddy of mine was taking apart his 86 Firebird and he said that these coil spacers might come in handy for me. they are 3/4 inch thick and 5 3/4 inches in diameter. I have a Rusty's 3inch full spring pack kit on my jeep now...but the rear is sitting a hell of alot higher than the front and has been for about 5 months. so my question is...will these work???.....i know i may need to extend my brake lines. I'm in the process of making a custom bumper so there will be extra weight up there soon. but will these work and can i go 3 3/4 inches of lift without changing the LCA's ?

no clue if the firechicken parts will work or not but i ran 3/4" pucks on top of a rusty's 3" kit (it does make it sit ~More level) with stock control arms

extend your stock brake lines and you'll be fine

pucks?.....

well i guess all there is to do is try

Not sure if it'll work but your control arms will be fine.I dont think 3/4's of an inch will effect the angle enough to cause any trouble.

I wouldn't use hockey pucks. Thats just me though. They aren't the right type of rubber, and if you know someone who is a machinist, delrin spacers cost about 4 bucks for the material, and they'll last longer and make cool squeaky noises, like energy suspension bushings :looney:

pucks is basically another word for coil spacers and does not mean actual hockey pucks.

Well up here in Canada pucks are little black things slapped around on ice, I'm not new to wheeling, I am newer to jeeps. I used to own a dodge raider, but it was modified and finally sold for something I could cart my family around in. Us Mitsu guys are funny, we refer to pucks as pucks, and spacers as spacers.
