Body Damage is Cool
It's about time to get more aluminum cut for more front spacers. I just thought I would ask if I sould make some 1" or 1 1/4" spacers to go with stock front springs. They should lift the stock springs about 2 to 3 inches and should still work with 2" rear spcers.

You can count me in for some front spacers for 2.5" spring lifted vehicle (1" spacers) if it is possible to have both lifts simultaneously...

Rears I might go with longer springs/shockers.

Just need to organise how to pay you (International Money Order, Western Union, my Nigerian friend with $15 million USD to transfer into my account <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> ?)

If it is anything like Australia, get them listed as "Production samples", with a value of ~10 Euro. Customs will just let it pass.......

I still want the front spacers....
Just had to put them on hold when she decided to start having random stalling fits.

Now that I know the problem I can start looking at the spacers again.

Now if I can just find which wire is loose so I can get her back out in the dirt.

Figuring I'll go out in the dark start her up, pop the hood, give her a shake and watch for sparks.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

It will probably be around or before the first of the year when I get more material cut. I will think I will get the 3/4" that I have been making now and 1" also. If I get calls for 1 1/4" I will try that next time. Most of you know I make the rear spacers also. When I find out how much 1" spacers will lift the front I will do the rears the same.
My wheels are 15x7 AR 62s with 4 1/2 inches of back spacing. I would not go any farther than that, my tires stick out about 2" in front and back.
Email me when your read ladyfrog. I got them.
Thanks for the input. Dennis
