Alternative to Extra Rear Isolators

[long_tall_texan]

Well, since it is so common, I figured I would see what i can do to come up with something a little less expensive. So here is what I have. ABS rear Spring Spacer to use instead of extra isos for leveling when you lift. Most people add 2 isos per side (1" additional lift) in addition to OME 948 springs. I made these for mine. Work great. I have had them on there for over a year and they are holding up just fine. I can make these in any height you need. 1" to 1.5" would be about $45 shipped. Is that a better price than 4 isos? Think there might be any interest for these?

Here is a pic of mine installed. They will ship in White ABS, but you can paint them any color you like. I painted mine flat black.

What rear springs are you using by the way?

Rusty's 2.5" :icon_redface: for the rear. At least they are better than stock plus a Daystar puck.

OME 927 up front.

Thought thats what they looked like.
wondering how the OMEs would sit in there:shrug:

 

[long_tall_texan]

OME should fit just the same. They have the same ID of the spring at the base. is there something different that I am missing?

Nice work LTT.
OME's are a better springs...

Not supposed to sag/bag out as fast as Rusty's as their spring rate is higher.

LOL. I know. I know... But I got a deal on these Rusty springs, and they are an improvement from what I had. I will move to OME 948 some day.
