80 series spring spacers

[Trunk Monkey]

Made a few more of these, have 3 sets available. You can reference this thread for what they are/do:

If you have a 91/92, this will work, but you'll have to cut the welded bolts on the spacers out as the bolts on the bumpstops are different on the FJ80's. Easy bolt in for FZJ's.

ALL GONE - thanks!

Does this mean that 91/92's wouldn't be bolted together? Or do we use our own?

On the spacers I have welded the bolts into the top plate. This is because you can't reach the bolt head at the back with everything in place. On 93+ there are two studs in the top of the bump stop that go through two holes in the top of the mount (or the lower spacer plate). On 91/92 (as I understand it) there is one bolt on the bumpstop and one on the mount. So, you'd have to cut the weld on one bolt on the spacer and remove it, since there's already a bolt in place on the spring mount.

You still got em? Although I don't need 1.5 as I'm running a 2.5 OME lift, and need to level it out with the ARB in place. How tough is this to install? Loks like I gotta tear into the entire front end vs using the cheesy spacer doughtnuts...

Takes about the same amount of skill to install cheesy spacer doughtnuts.

I have these from Cory and I recommend them. For the time it would take you to fab your own his price is very reasonable and being laser or water cut they are perfect unlike my jagged plasma hand.

anyone using them with J springs and the caster bushings?

(ie, not the caster plates)?

Is it too much?

Thanks

Boston,

I'm using them with Js and caster plates. Theoretically using these with Js and bushings would be about the same as running the 2.5" without bushings. I have done that without crazy ill effects.

Gotcha!

I ran the 2.5 setup without bushings and it was not fun!

Thanks anyway!

I've got them on my truck with J's and OME bushings. Haven't noticed anything with the steering.
