    Are the spacers going to be the same top and bottom? I was thinking of going with a 1.5" spacer personally, but may be interested in this.
    Whats the reason to go with spacers on both top and bottom rather then one spacer on one end?

    The spacers will probably be the same exact design for top/bottom. I'll verify dimensions when I have Corey's apart this Saturday. Reason for going 1/2 top and 1/2 bottom is to ensure the spring is always captured and to facilitate installation. If I did 1" top, it would be a PITA to get the driver side spring back in. If I did 1" bottom, it would reduce the amount of remaining material that centers the spring/isolater.

    Are the problems you are talking about issues with the current budget boost market?

    No because they are either bolted in place (usually the uppers) or have their own self/centering features that center the spring isolaters.

    The 5.25" hole-saw came in today and is the perfect diameter. The spacers are the same OD as the isolaters now. After work tomorrow I may take out my passenger side spring to see what type of ID & chamfer will work best.
