Boiler's 3/8" shims or equivalent?

[BADLIBBY]

Anyone know where I can find a pair anymore?

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry you cant have mine.
I'm not sure who may have the top plate spacer in 3/8 steel.
Possibly 1 of our members may have them laying around?
Here is the necessary drawing to have them made.

Do 1/4 inch

 

[BADLIBBY]

Cool, thanks guys.

Anyone have pics for install? I'm also planning to do the clevis lift and rear isolaters at the same time.

Install very easy, they just sit on top of the coilover and then bolt back up in, what lift are you using ?
Just asking before you install too much as far as top plate, and 3/8 inch clevis so you do not have issues later.
Do you have JBA upper control arms ?

OME Springs and struts all around, front and rear + JBA UCAs. Yeah ive read 3/8 is max for clevis, is a spacer really necessary to keep it even all the way around??

 

[tommudd]

IF, you have OME 927/948s it will sit flat level with nothing else added
If you are going to add a 1/4 top plate and 3/8 inch clevis then you will need to add at least two extra upper isolators ( not spacers ) to sit level since you will be raising the front 1.25 inches
Then by the look of your wheels , make sure you have plenty of rear bumpstop so as to not contact your flares
Proper backspacing and width of wheels only 2 inches of hockey pucks needed
But that is with 8 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing or 7 inch wide and 4 inches of backspacing

 

[BADLIBBY]

My factory rear bumpstops that stick down from the rear upper isos are long gone...do I need to replace AND do the hockey pucks? or just the pucks?

 

[tommudd]

Yes and Yes
You need both
factory bumpstops and at least two perside hockey pucks bolted down to the lower spring perch

Are the ATH Spacers able to fit an 05 kj? I see it listed on their site as being made for the 08-12 kk/kj? just wanting to double check before purchasing.

Yes

Yes

Perfect thanks! Probably a stupid question as it's just a simple steel plate but the site doesn't list what type of steel it is. I'm assuming it's adequate for it's purposes?

Rocky road outfitters sells the 3/8” spacer.

I have literally never seen someone rave about RRO. Almost every post that mentions them is a negative review or opinion. I know the product is just a metal shim plate but there could still be fitment issues, poor steel quality, and possibly worst of all, poor customer service. I have never personally bought from RRO so I cannot give an experience based opinion.
Has anyone gotten these for their rig with a positive opinion?

Go with ATH. Ordered from RRO. Waited and waited for them to ship. Emailed with no response.
Ordered a set from ATH. Received my order from ATH 4days later. Cancelled my order from RRO.

I have ATH’s roof rack and recovery points on my Jeep (both now discontinued unfortunately) but I can vouch for the quality, punctuality, and clear communication that comes with his products.

 

[808inthe949]

That is awesome to hear. Ill grab those from ATH and see what else they have. Thanks

 

[mercdudecbr600]

I have rro spacers installed, no problem. They are one of the only kJ aftermarket suppliers around, we should stop bagging on them. I’d have no problem ordering parts from them - just don’t expect hand holding. OTOH, I don’t think a lot of companies customer service is that great nowadays. I contacted arb/ome about their springs not providing typical lift and the tech just said... it’s fine. So their customer service isn’t great either even with a good warranty. Ox locker, however, has been wonderful. Just FYI

But they do not always fit and you have to redrill them
