Front spring spacers

[sdnative]

Currently I have OME 850 front springs with 35" tires and OME "L" shocks. My goal is to go with some 33" tires and regular nitrocharger shocks. I am afraid to wheel it now as I will rub and if I stuff the tire I may over compress and damage the shocks.

Until I can get the new tires and shocks, I was thinking about putting some spacers up front to avoid these issues. Maybe 1/2" to 1" tops.

Anyone have some front spacers for sale? Or can recommend a good brand that isn't too expensive?

Seems like a lot of people are running 35s with 850 springs without stuffing or rubbing, not sure about L shocks. This is the direction I am going to try, may install longer bump stops. Well see of it works, but I have non L shocks.

What about putting some bump stop extensions on the the time being? A hockey puck will give you 1" and are cheap. Otherwise cruiseroutfitters sales OME trim packers pretty cheap, or Slee's spacers. You could also look at getting some 1/2" plate steel and making your own to fit between the spring and perch; cheap to do if you already have the steel, otherwise probably not.

Thanks for the replies. I may not rub too bad, but I wouldn't want to damage the shocks. I'll crawl under the truck and check, but the bumpstops may already be extended.
