Fitted rear coil spring spacers

Postby Mattman » Wed Jan 01, 2014 5:19 pm

I am running an ome suspension setup with 919 springs in the rear.

After fitting side bars and a rear storage setup and all the gear I carry the arse had sagged quite a bit.

Picked up a set of 40mm Daystar coil spacers off amazon and fitted them today. Undid the shocks and removed the wheels and jacked the truck up as high as it would go. Undid the sway bar on one side and by standing on the axle I could pull the spring out.

Removed the stock 10mm rubber spring seats and fitted the new spacers on the springs and reinserted them.

Took about an hour all up and gained about an inch. Pretty happy.

Matt.

Have you got a link for the spring spacers you've got?
And comparison before/after photos?

Not sure if the difference is visible in these pics.
