    1/2" Spacers for rear suspension.

    I'm going to be ordering some material/tools to make 1/2" thick upper & lower spacers for the rear suspension. My plan is to run ones of each for 1" height increase when I take off my load levellers. ... but know a few guys here are interested in running the 1/2" lower spacers to get rid if some rear sag that's common after installing lifts.

    So trying to gauge how much material to buy. Who all would want a set of 1/2" spacers? Figure they'll be $30 shipped for a set.

    NOTE: This is not a for-sale thread. I'm making these for myself regardless and will post pics. Just trying to see who else does/might want a set to determine how much material to buy AND and type of tooling I should get. For example if no one wants them, ill make mine a bit more "crude" since they'll be hidden anyways and ill only spend the time making them once. But if there's 3+ more people that want a set, them I'm going to spend the money on the proper hole saws and/or adapters for my friends lathe/mill so it doesn't take me over an hour to make each set lol.

    Id want a set for the rear to get a small amount of lift to level it out, are you suggesting the 1/2" spacer?

    Yeah, I don't see a reason really to go less than 1/2". A lot of people go with the load leveller shocks to get .75-1.25 more height out of the rear.

    Measure your rear fenders to see the difference. Each vehicle is a bit different

    Lol of course man. I figured you and Andrew were in based on our chatting sessions. 3 more people interested would bump my order up to the next sheet size.

    Thanks man. I should be good.... Between material, packaging and shipping im expecting ~$25 a set. So I left myself a $5 buffer. Best case for me, I get a 6 pack for each set
