Custom coil spacers for cheep.. Anyone interested?
Well, after installing my 1.5" rear coils I am wanting a little more lift and I found out that coil spacers cost $160 and are only available in one or two sizes. All I would need to make my own would be a secton of aluminum pipe about 1/2" think with the corect internal diameter. Then I could cut it with a beand saw and machine the sections down to whatever size I want. If I am going to go to all that trouble I might as well make a few sets of them in deferent sizes. I won't be doing this right away but if I did would anyone be interested in ordering whatever size spacers they want for like $75? Mabe more, mabe less depending on cost of material.

Yea, just need to measure the inside diameter of my old coils but they are at home and I am at school. can anyone bust out some calipers and measure there old springs for me? If I had that measurement I could start making spacers right away.
I have been trying to think of the best way to make the sapcesrs. I might be able to part them off on the lathe in the chucks are big enough. Therwise it's band saw or plasma cutter. Then I could mill them flat on one of the manny Bridgpoorts.

I think I may go this option in the rear, Balljoint spacers in the front and crank my T-Bars to match the 2" In the rear
What I need to know is if I need a Panhard bracket and the LVPS (Brake Valve) Bracket for this lift setup to work.
