wow Matt, BJ-spacers sure made your truck dirty

not scared off, working. And trying to work on my truck and be a dad all at the same time who needs sleep. Once I saw the pic of the truck with the spacer on one side only at full droop, it made alot more sense to me and I think I will try to fab up some on my own 100 bucks seems pricey for what is involved. I would imagine steel would work just as well as aluminum. I do appreciate everyones comments

Over all, steel would work as well as aluminum but AL saves a little bit of weight so the shocks don't work as hard (yeah, not a lot of weight, but some).
and you'll still have to mod the upper arm (ie: cut it) to give enough clearance for the spacer to bolt up.

I have bought 3 sets of these and installed them on my personal rig, and two of my buddys rigs and they are holding up well. We beat are trucks and even jump them a little bit.

did any of you have to cut the a-arms to fit the spacer in there?

We all did. You have to. The cut is not going to weaken the UCA.

you pretty much just trim the little bottom lip back. I used a sawzall and a basic grinder to get them perfect.

oh alright. i took a look at the arm and it looked like i could squeeze a bj spacer in there without having to do any trimming, but that's not too much work to do. what shocks did you guys use?

I have a list of some common front shocks for use with the ball joint spacers on the web page below:
