Tuff Country Coil Spacers

[Archive]

I ordered some 2" coil spacers from Tuff Country and they arrived today. They are made of powder coated steel, not urathane like some other spacers I've seen, yet they still dont lok "beefy" enough to support the heavy Cummins front end. Does anybody have these installed? If so for how long and do you like the quality so far?

Thanks for your input

I've put some in. They leveled the front end back up pretty well(winch sag).
The place I got them from talked about putting them in in an hour. Maybe so.
I changed my control arms at the same time. Took me all day and half the nite. #ad

I just put in the Tuff Country spacers 2 weeks ago. To me they are definitely well built. I just wish they made them in 2 1/2" instead of 2". Take my advice, unhook the anti-sway bar on each side of the axle. There is a little vacuum line that goes to the axle when you lower the axle, it will stretch, so pull the grummit out, you will get more length that way. The directions are very, very vague. They don't tell you everything. I have installed 2 Rancho kits before both on 2500 Rams, and their directions are beautiful. They give you more information than you need. But then again, that's why Tuff Country is not a big player in suspension components like Rancho is. I would have went with Rancho but Rancho will not just sell the spacers. They want you to buy upper and lower links. You will need a tiny hydrulic jack, you will have to position that little jack on a L bracket welded to the frame that you probably already are wondering what it is for. Thank you Dodge for putting that there. You will have to jack that down so you can get the coil spring out but that is not stated in the directions. I learned that little trick from the Rancho installation. If you need more information let me know.

Do you have a link to Tuff Country? I've been looking for something for my '93 and would like to see if they can help. Thanks in advance.

The Tuff Country 2' spacers work great I have had mine for over ten thousand trouble free miles.
The stock shocks work but I went with Rancho 9000s (my 9000s are for a three inch lift). I am very pleased with this set up.

Did any of you put in a longer track bar?

Where might someone get one of these?

I just installed new Skyjacker springs (2" lift). I might be crazy, but I'd swear the front left tire sticks out of the fender farther than the front right tire does. Like the front axle sits 1/2" to the left of center. Seems to drive OK, I just wonder if I'm crabbing down the road?????

I called Skyjacker and they said they didn't have the 2" springs for a 2001 yet, so I am looking for something else, possibly the 2" spacers from Tuff Country, I am running 33x12. 50 BFG Mudder's on 16. 5x9. 75 Weld Super Single II's and it doesn't rub unless I am in a ditch, but I want the truck to sit level, any info would be appreciated.

I have the 5 1/2 spacer kit and love it. The ride remains excellent and after chrome plating everything it looks awesome. At first, I thought the new upper and lower links looked a little small, but Scott at Tuff Country assured me everything will be plenty strong, even with a Cummins! Try the Tuff Country kit, I think you will be as happy as I am.
