Spring Spacer's?

[Long Duck Dong]

I noticed my truck looks like it has sort of a reverse stink bug (I think thats what it's called) where the front looks slightly lower than the rear. Keep in mind I have a 2.5" Skyjacker lift

Is there such a thing as a spring spacer that will lift the front end 1/2" to 1"? I figured there was but wasnt sure so thought I would ask. I figured someone made a ring spacer that would fit between the spring and the top or bottom spring cup...

It might be just me, but the front fender gap looks closer than what it appears in the rear. If there is such a thing, where can I get them?

Reverse stinkbug would be nose high, ass low...you have run of the mill stinkbug, ass high, nose low. OME makes "trim packers" for .25 and .5" lift. Man-A-Fre has a 1" spacer. Autozone/Advance/Pepboys sells a universal rubber spring spacer that would also work.

yes, although the consensus seems to be that the rubber spacer squishes very quickly. The MAF one looks much stronger. Aluminium and steel better still, plus these lower the bumpstop too...

Where can one get the metal spacers?

Go with a 2" spacer it levels the rig out perfectly.

Indeed, where can I get some of these bad boy's?? Sounds like I might need to try a 1" possibly a 2"

ah, these are now collectible items...!

I've got the J-springs w/ Man-a-fre 30mm spacers in the front. It seems to level mine out quite nicely.

I will have a set for sale soon.

Plz refer to this thread which is from whom I bought them:

They are 1.5" and used up front. They should level you out.

EDIT: SOLD.

I also added the MAF 30mm spacer. To me it made a difference...

To me, IMHO, the stinkbug is good because when you throw the canoe on top, the camping gear in back, and then put the boat on the hitch, you are at a level load. I hate having people flash brights because my tail is dragging and the low beams are into their eyes. Level is also the most stable way to tow.

Your headlight angles are adjustable and have bubble levels on them for a reason...

 

[Bearcat80]

Yep. Currently adjusted slightly low so I don't have to mess with them while rigged up for fishing. Priorities!

Mr Gasket makes some rubber spacers...very cheap, I bought a set but have not installed them yet so cannot comment on how they work

I heard the Mr. Gasket ones are nice, but only for a short period before they start to compress and you go back to stinkbug. The MAFs are more of a high density plastic, so they have held up pretty well. Of course, metal doesn't sag, but good luck finding some. You get what you pay for, so check into it.

How many of you guys are looking for the metal spacers? If there is enough interest i'll get some laser cut and i'll weld them up.

I think you will get a lot of takers.

I may be interested depending on how much I drop, once, I finally get bumpers on. I would be looking to return to OME lift height or a tad more, but not too much (to avoid driveline and the need for other changes).

copper state crusiers of AZ mad CNC cut aluminum spacers and they are the cream of the crop absolutly the best, might be able to convince toolsrus to make another batch

Please do it LT. It seems lots of people would be all over this, I know I would.
