2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission spacer for overload springs

[pwr2tow]

Would like to place something between over load spring and overload bump block to help keep truck more level towing heavy weight, what are you useing?

I have the Firestone air bags and love them. Just add air to level the load out.

Derek,



I have seen two different approaches to this.



First was to add a 1 - 1 1/2 inch piece of rubber to each of the frame brackets thus lower the contacts by this much.



The second option was they had a spring shop make them a taller spacer that just the overload sits on.



Don't go to high or they could hit under normal driving. But there is room to play there.

I have heard hockey pucks do a good job as spacers. Read a link where a guy drilled a hole in them and mounted them on the bracket, although I have not tried it myself.
