Custom Topout Spacer!!

I'm making my own. I've drawn it on AutoCAD, and I made it 1/2" thick so I can get 5/8" lift out of it. It looks alot like wheelers with the 3 slots instead of simply 3 holes. I'll post a picture tonight!

UPDATE:

The printer ran out of material at 3/8" so I figured that was a sign from the good Lord above and made the seoncd one at 3/8" also. Went to Lowe's and got 6 extended stubs at 3/8"x1.5" - 16 thread. And 6 lock nuts 3/8" by 16 thread. 1.5" is 38mm in length.

They were printed off a 3D printer so it's some kind of plastic, but they are solid through. I'm going to see if they will stress fracture on Saturday and then take my design to the shop teacher and let him cut it out of 3/8" aluminum with a plasma gun.

UPDATE!
I Got them installed tonight. Can't take pics cause it's raining. I'm sitting at 37.5" up front with them in. Subtract .5" for the tire and that's 2" higher than stock. Tundra's give me 1.5", therefore these give me exactly .5". I'm considering taking my design on to here to sell them with an extended stud kit. Please PM me if you are interested. *I will not be able to process any this week unless out of plastic. I should be able to start making them out of steel next week. PM me for more details...*
