Spacers??

[XJNOOB93]

Ok so before I put on my Warn bumper with the winch on it, my Jeep had a 4.5" lift. After, I believe its down to a 3.5" lift or a lil lower. What size spacer do I need to bring it back to a 4.5" or a lil higher? And do any of you have some???

[-96JeepSpeed-]

Get the teraflex 1.5 spacers. There pretty sweet

.....uhmmm, lets see, went from 4.5 to 3.5, so that would that be, oh oh I know the answer, maybe an 1"?

:roll::D

....just giving you grief, you posted this late, must be tired like me?

I have found 1.75" spacers out there from Daystar, bout $40 new. Not sure if anyone has something laying around. I did the poor boys spacer (Extra coil isolator $6 a piece to get 5/8) not enough for what you need. I wish I could afford the $200 for the JKS ACOS system, that way I could adjust as I go along as the coils sag........

Yeah that was for the pair, they don't say "Pairs" but they advertise "spacers" I am assuming that is what it means. I have seen the packaging for the 3/4 spacers and they are packed as pairs. The Teraflex ones are identical to Daystar (Heck Daystar probably makes them for Tera who knows?) except of course they have the Teraflex name on them :)

I have never seen the Teraflex ones sperate from their budget boost, but that doesn't mean anything. I see more of the Daystar brand in more places.......Am I just rambling on? I need to go to bed after the day I just had.........eck! :helpme:

I've got 2 sets of black 1" spacers as well as a set of stock coil isolators. I used them before installing ACOS's. I'll sell them for whatever 50% off is so $20?

.....dude? Not that harsh on yourself, from my point my responses were all in jest. Been there done that, still learning, I am just as bad sometimes:dunce:

......I think of the words faster than I type and sometimes I make no sense what so ever :)

No but literally, cut them down.....

2.5 + 3.5 you already = 6" and that will be a lot with short arms. You might run into the other problems XJ's have over that 4.5" mark. Death wobble, etc.

....you still coming on Sunday?

Dont rush it cause you dont want to do something wrong and have something break on the trail. Dont worry about looking low and sad because mine will be looking like that i have a saggy 5in and i am running 32s as well.

Are they poly or metal? I have seen metal ones.........

If they are poly (i have done this in the past but it took time and precision) you can use a hacksaw and as you cut rotating the spacer. You just want to get back the 1" you lost and gain .5" right? I would try to cut off 1" on the top side not on the curved side the coil sits on.

If you lived close I would say stop by and I can help ya, you have to pop out the coils to get them on that is the PITA!

X2 On the PITA Took me forever to do and I ended up putting them on wrong(upside down) I took them off put them on right side up but then again they were wrong again.( I put them between the coil and the stock isolater and they needed to be between the body and the isolater but by the time I noticed that I was totally done putting everything back together and said screw it. So take your time, think and do it right.

I might try and get them tomorrow. But dang, you live like an hour and 10 min. away.

You didn't already buy them?

I would say if that is the case go for Xjmatt's instead.......$20 for a pair of 1" spacers, plus extra isolators That would get you back you lost 1" and raise you .5", then you don't have to worry about all this cutting etc........

I know I live too far away :)

I was hoping someone closer to you would see me trying to help and anti up and offer you some assistance :greensmok

Ya still welcome though..........

According to his post he included both, spacers and isolators, even sounds like he meant he had 2 pairs of spacers, plus the isolators, although you only need one pair :)

This look like a set??

.........Not of coils spacers :)

Those look like bump stop extensions. Too small in diameter to be coil spacers.

This is what one looks like (take note it is a 2.5" spacer, not a 1") above that is the stock isolator;

I think I already have a set of those. Maybe not.

They came with my lift. The guy who did it said its a pain in the arse to put them on.
