I was wondering how you guys would sugest I make a set of coil spacers for my 2nd gen. Should I make them out of steel, aluminum or mabe nylon? What would be the best way to machine/ cut out the hole in the center? Anyone interested in a set if I figure out a cheep way or making them? Pictures of coil spacers and dimensions would be helpfull.

Ill take a set if you make it 2" Than I can stick some Ball Joint spacers up front.

I relized (duuu!) I could just get some really thinck pipe with the corect internal diameter and cop sections off! Might look into nylon.

Hey guys,

DOWNEY makes 1.5 inch spacers... I got them to sell me just the spacers without the rest of the kit for $40 plus $8 shipping..

I had the DOWNEY springs on my 1990 runner, they were great, but I wanna see if I can do it on my 1995 for cheaper, and retain my stock ride and shocks.

I'll let you know how it goes... I'm sick of looking like I'm towing an airstream when there's nothing back there...

Ha, yeah.. I though you guys would like that.. had two kegs back there last weekend.. lucky those damn bumpstops are like 6" long... she was ridin on em..

My old 1990 had Gabriel air shocks on it that were pretty cool.. lifted the rear about 1.5" before I got the Downey springs....
