DIY Coil Spacers

[akarilo]

Yes, I came up with these all on my own, without ever seeing anything similar. Maybe I should brew up a batch and start selling them

Kidding; kudos to Metal Tech for an excellent design but I'm running kinda tight on project funds. Besides, these are a "one-off", as they are 1 3/4"

$11.00 bux worth of scrap metal and and another $10 at the hardware store for a good drill bit and hardware.

These should help the 851's catch up to the 860's I just ordered from Slee. Yee Haw, gotta love this addiction.

I will take two!! .. looks great. Very nice work.

PLEASE make me a pair for my front end!!

Don't forget to include the price of the welder for those that don't have one

Yep, I have the metaltech spacers on my rig looks like the same design. The Metaltech folks are first class but if you can save a few bucks and do it yourself more power to you. Looks good.

Can you clarify for me which springs you are running? It sounds like your running mediums all around (851/860) with the spacers up front and getting 3" of lift with bumpers and sliders. Is that right?

That is correct. 860's will probably settle a bit but I've got some "packers" left over for when the time comes.

Thanks. The truck looks really good!

I've been meaning to make a set for a while... looks great!

Are you making these for others? If so, I would be interested. Let me know

Sorry to bring up an old thread. But anyone have a good idea of the diameter of the center tubing used? Thanks
