Rustys 3/4" Spacer Installed*PICS*

I installed the 3/4" spacers this evening. After the ride home from my shop(about 24 miles) the truck had settled perfect. It lifts the front 7/8" at the wheel well. It looks great and I dont notice a major ride difference, good buy for $20. I would def recommend these to someone who wants to level thier stock suspension.

here are the pictures

OK, so its almost an inch, not 1 1/2 like some claim?

So if you wanted just under an 1 1/2 lift you would have to install rusty's plate also?

Like I said, my prelow is about an 1 1/2 higher in the rear.

I have the Rusty's 2.5" coil lift and am wondering what effect that spacer will have on my jeep. I would like to level the front with the rear. Just wondering if that would put too much stress on the CV's or would it be the same as adding a 1/2" clevis.

Comments accepted from all.

Thanks guys and gals!

from what I've been reading, you might not want to go any higher... the front axles are very short. Someone should make a diff drop kit

Just out of curiosity, where did you purchase the spacer and what was the cost?

Thanks

Darn the pic of the spacer is alot smaller than the one I got from him. Guess I must of gotten a something different.

KJRenny, I want this for my 05 Renny. I want to have someone put them in and would like to find out about how much I should expect to pay for the job.

Did you only have the Rusty's 3/4" spacer pair installed? Did you need an wheel alignment or headlight adjustment afterwards?

What are the benefits/problems with using these spacers and leveling off the front end? Smoother ride, better offroad or ???

Just curious because I have considered these before but to tell you the truth I dont really know what they are for or what they would do for me.

I'm running a stock 02 Limited

The cost of replacing struts and alignment....if you have factor struts ...good time to replace them.

Other ?

Gives you more tire breathing room

It would probably be 4-5 hours of shop time.

i would say 3 hours shop time. I didnt have the front end aligned, it still tracks straight as an arrow

KJRenny, Did you have your 2.5 lift before or after this spacer lift?

i took off the 3/4 spacer when I put the 2.5 on

Littlehorn · **Posted:** Thu Nov 17, 2005 8:13 pm

So, what are your overall thoughts on the spacers setup for the 2 weeks you had them in?

The squeeky/squish noise is normal for poly right?

I am not trying to take away form anything here but these look like they are really the Daystar pucks that have been on the market for well over 3 years now. Daystar has always sold a 2.5 and a 1.5 spacer puck for the KJ. Later...Clint

If possible...PLEASE resize first 2 pictures. This will kill anyone trying to look at this post on dial up. Thanks.
