Check these out: http://mku.dhs.org/discovery/ http://mku.dhs.org/discovery/4sale/spring_spacers.htm Not sure if he still sells them, but I have a set of the front 1" spacers with shock relocation bracket on my RRC for a couple of years now, works great. I made some rear spacers based on this tech article, easy and cheap: http://www.discoweb.org/ome3/spacer.htm Rovertym also makes some and so does EE: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/spacers/indexmain.htm http://www.rovertym.com/spacers.htm

Here is another tip someone shared with me. Its pretty easy to make your own. http://Onlinemetals.com 4" Aluminum 6106 Extruded Round should do it. All you need for the rear is two holes and longer bolts. For the front you will need to open it up with a jig saw or hole saw to run the shock through it. (it would be easier on later models that had air suspension). Grand total was 28 bucks for 4 one inch blocks. Be aware though that I have some 1" blocks with a hole in the center of my rangie and the shock body does hit the spacer. When i get new shocks I plan on making a plate to move the shock up or extending it. The Expedition Exchange website explains a bit of this. Gordo. |
