Sorry for not being around lately, I was getting crushed by finals. A few e-mails got bounced due to full mail boxes and some other stuff. By now most of you should be getting them. Don't hesitate to e-mail me if you didn't get the tracking number or have any other questions.

You can totally still buy the spacers but they are back to the normal price 119 out the door. I put in an order for more so I won't be running out anymore.

The notch faces downwards and it functions as a drain so water doesn't pool.

Did the shop do an awesome job on these or what. I was totally impressed with their work. It is a family owned CNC shop and they sponsor their own off road team. They're pretty stoked on this product. Typically they do a lot of golf stuff. It's a bummer you can't really see 'em with they are installed!

Yeah no sweat. I never got a tracking number but mine got here yesterday. I've been afraid to open it 'cuz then all I'll think about is puttin' em in and I have other crap to do here at the house right now. My wife will kill me if I start another project. Besides, I'm broke for a week and I know I'll want to put in some other parts as well. (BJ, control arm bushings, blah blah)

I got your check. Send me an e-mail at sdors@san.rr.com. When I get home tonight I'll check up on it and make sure all is well. I'd expect it to be arriving today or tomorrow.

I just sent you a PM. You are a different Mike than I had thought. There is a good chance your check is in the mail box awaiting me to check the mail. Please accept my apologies if that's the case, I'll get the spacers out first thing tomorrow morning.

FYI to all, I'm bad at checking the PM's. (when you're on multiple BBS's it gets easy to forget) If you could use the SDORS@san.rr.com that would be great. Then I can keep all the correspondence in one spot.

Side note, do not pu em on with stock rims. you need wheel spacers, or different rims. I dont know it that was said before, but I missed it. Put them on and there is major rubbing. Just an FYI incase anyone else missed that point. Guess I have to get new rims or spacers now, Darn.

well since im bored and stuck here at work i went out and looked, it doesn't look like there would be any rubbing because it doesn't look like they would stick out any more than the control arm. as seen in this pic.....

The only thing I can think of is maybe you backed off your t-bar adjustment too far and now the extra travel is allowing your tire to go places it never went before. Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Everyone wants more travel with their IFS but with more travel comes more wheel stuffing and more wheel stuffing means more tire rubbing. I'm not sure if wheel spacers will help you any with that.

Ok this is an artical I found when looking for what to do about the rub, It is describing what I hma having a problem with right now. http://=http://www.off-road.com/toyo...ews/superlift/

The third pic down is exactly what I will have when I get the torsion bars back in. Third picture back down, I Have to much back spacing on my rims.

Hmmm, rubbing, this is new. If anyone is having troubles like this, I definitely want to know. Things that will help with a solution are pics of your set up, location of rubbing, and tire size. It is possible, that all the pairs out in the world thus far have gone on trucks with aftermarket rims. Anyway, if this is an issue pleeeeeeease let me know.

I can't get the link to work. Can you describe where and under what conditions this is happening?
