I ordered my coils directly from Downey. I didn't have any problems with their customer service at all. They even called me back later to give me the total including shipping. I only ordered from them because I didn't want to wait because their coils were on back order.

I don't know if you are going to be able to order just the spacer though.

Blue you get the panhard drop bracket, new endlinks for the swaybar, and the spacer as far as I know.

What is a Panhard drop bracket? Is it part of the torsion bar set up? If not what happens to lift the front end up? I heard someone talk about soft rear shocks and hard fronts. Any fact to that?

Panhard drop bracket



There are a few old posts on the panhard floatin' around here.
When you raise the rear, the axle shifts to the right a bit most of the time.
This drop bracket puts the panhard bar, the long black horizontal one, back to a more level geometry, thus tucking the axle back in again where it belongs.

Corey nicely done. AG runner I am pretty sure the coils and the spacers are two seperate kits. Only snag I have to getting these is my stock length Bils would not be adequate enough and would limit travel.

So we got the rear down

What about the front end. Is it torsion bar adjustment that lifts it?
