CNC, a manual mill would have been way slower and too much trouble. I am thinking that maybe I should cut them down to 1-1/2" tall.

^^ how do you like those pro comp shocks? Are the majority of folks with BJ spacers modifying their bump stops or no? I seem to have more down travel than I think my CV's can handle.

Well I'm not really sure how I like the shocks. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. I do know that they are smaller in diameter than my old Rancho 5000s but the piston is 2inches longer. I didn't modify my bump stops. I know since I've had the lift installed, my truck has a much smoother ride now.

not hard at all, the problem for most is having access to the machinery to cut them out and the software to program the machine. I wish I would have made more when the shop was slow, but now we are so busy with good paying work I could never schedule the machine time.

Ordered from TRDParts4U in a kit with OME901HD rear coils. Rear Rancho shocks for a 79 Ford F-100, front Rancho shocks for a 90 Suzuki Sammi.

x2 on the stacking and the steel. with the possibility of a shift, you risk breaking the studs resulting in dismal failure. also the steel vs aluminum; rust and weight. all of the notable manufactures use aluminum for a good reason and they are worth the extra money.

A piece of 1/2" steel is not going to rot out. The truck will rot out before the steel would. Nothing wrong with the steel spacers. Actually they are stronger than the aluminum ones. If you are worried about shifting then weld them together. Steel bends aluminum snaps for a comparison.

His older ad said he'd even weld them together for you if you desired. Maybe he doesn't do that anymore? What do I care, I have a welder.
On the rust concerns...
It's called spray paint. They sell it in all different colors, including black. Cheap too, ~$5 a can for the good stuff!
