OTT Strut Plates and Rear Coil Spacers

VoodooMann · **Posted:** Mon Jan 04, 2010 12:14 am

does anyone have plans/diagrams/measurements for how to make strut top spacers or rear spring spacers.

I need to do a budget boost REALLY bad, and don't have a lot of money to part with or i would do a daystar.

Or, on the other hand, does anyone have the above parts they would be willing to part with for cheap?

this really isn't going to give me any lift, seeing as I have already sagged about 1 3/4" in the front, maybe a hair over 1" rear. so I'm not worried about bumpstops. I just need to regain lost height.

Here is the Top Spacer Plate. I think you can do 3/8" thick and still have enough threads left with the stock bolts. I put longer studs in my Daystar top plate, so maybe someone else will chime in to verify.

And if you wanted to make a strut spacer to put in your existing front shock/strut assembly, make a couple donuts with a ø3.050" ID and a ø4.310 OD. You could probably go 3/8" thick on the donuts. Then put one between the top plate and the rubber spring isolator, and another between the shock's spring support plate and the spring isolator. Would put more pre-load on your spring, so it would bring you back up while you save for new springs.

The spacers for the rear are only about $11/each at the dealer. They will give you about 1/2" of lift so you'll need 4 to gain an inch.

Depends on the dealer. They are $19.50 each in my area at the dealer.
