1" rubber spacer for front spring question.

[BNewman]

I saw them on ebay and might buy them. 2" is just too high for me doesn't look right I think. My question is can I squeeze the coil enough to slip in the split doughnut spacer on the bottom of coil without removing the spring? Thanks dudes. 2004 4x4 quad 2500 dsl.

I have never heard of a spacer going on the bottom of the spring. If it is two piece I would be afraid it would come apart down the road. It is not that much work, did 2" Revtek spacers last weekend in about 2. 5 hours without any spring compressors, just a big floor jack and two big jack stands. Disconnect the track bar and the sway bar and the axle will drop low enough to put the spacers in.

You will need to support your frame on jackstands, remove the tires, remove the trac bar bolt, remove lower shock bolts. Disconnect anti-swaybar ends, lower the axle with a floor jack, and the spring will slide out easily. Then, install the spacers on the top of the spring under the factory isolator. Reinstall the spring and button her up. I have put taller than factory springs in a number of times, it is an easy job Go for it!!!

Rubber spacer with the weight of a cummins on it? :--)

I do not think anything but a steel spacer should be used with the weight that is being transfered. Could be wrong though, sure some one will correct me if I am.

Daystar makes a urathane spacer that works great. Guaranteed not to compress!
