    OK I have 1 more set of spacers left and 3 guys on the list that were interested.

    Here's the deal, these spacers were a bit more challenging to make than I expected... in the sense that they take quite some time with a surface prep disc to clean up after they're cut out.

    If there's continued interest I'm thinking of selling them for $45 shipped; instead of a 6-pack of regular beer that'll get me a case of decent beer

    For those of you that were interested in these spacer, they are definitely worth the money. I just installed mine last night and I'm very happy with the results and quality of the spacers. No one else makes anything like this for the rear so get some while you can!

    Since I didn't want Cory being able to brag he was the first to have these installed... I put a set on my XK today! Threw the steps into a "how to" for reference:

    I still have the load levelers on. Goal is to eventually get some resi-shocks and then put another set of spacers in. Looks good like this though. Rear's a tad higher then desired, but it'll drop a bit when I take the MLLs off and put on another spacer.

    Does the spacer sit tight around the spring perch? I ask because the inner hole looks kind of large. Also it looks like we might need some longer bump stop spacers now. If the spring is fully compressed and its not hitting the bump stop then ill rip my flares right off...

    It sits at the edge of the radius on the lower spring perch. For it to move one side would have to ride up the radius (which can't happen with the weight on it).

    You don't need longer bump stops. Adding the spacer doesn't negate the relationship between axle and body that you have now... in other words its impossible that adding this spacer in would result in more upwards travel of your suspension. The reason my bump stop isnt hitting is because I was in my driveway so the suspension cant fully flex. If my front was up on an incline so more weight was back there, the bump stop would hit like normal.

    The lower perch has a significant radius to it:
