Roll Me Over
I hope you replaced the hose with a longer one that won't pull apart when your suspension flexes.

Interesting. The spacer should probably be used on the top of the spring, not the bottom. The top seat has an ID lip that keeps the spring and spacer from moving around to the top.

Just my $.02.


I debated that. The spacers didn't fit into the upper seat very well and the top of the spring is flat, not rounded like the bottom, so I decided to try the bottom (as the instructions indicated). I am checking them periodically, and so far so good. If they do slip a little, I can try flipping them around.

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the past but with all this talk about spacers for Gen II's...

this is good news since i just found out that roger brown doesn't make the spacers for the montero anymore. any pictures yet?


I too wondered about 4crawler's past offering spacer for mitsu and now no longer offering them. Just got off the phone w/ Roger verifying the order for my skids and checking on my body lift actually and he mentioned the monty spacers. What happened was the old manufacturing process machined the spacer from a block of material that happened to be a bit larger than the Toy's spring and large enough for the Monty Spring so he could sell them as mitsu units. The new process is to make them from a mold so they're exactly made to the size of a Toy's spring thus no longer usable for Mitsu's.
