Just finished fabricating/making my own set of aluminum spacers for my 1988 Classic (on the board). I had 3.5" lift, and decided to make a set of 1.5" aluminum spacers. They are installed, and worked great overall. I used Online Metals (as mentioned in the tech side) who were great and reasonable. If you are only making rear, they are a piece of cake, as Online cuts to size, and you drill out with a press. The install is quick and easy, even with the upper and lower retainers that I have. The front one's are a biatch, so be prepared for a challenge. I do all of my own work, and they just took longer than I thought. You have to make a separate plate for the shock relocation, and bore out the lower spacer to fit the nut (I run JKS adapters in order to use eyelet shocks). Measurements best be right on, and thankfully I had an extra spring plate to use as a template. I guess my long-winded deal is, if you want to run spacers, you may want to consider buying them MACHINE cut to save time and aggravation. |
