I was just being difficult. Are you going to use an isolator between the spring an alum spacer? I would.

Do you have the bumpstop built right in with that smallest shoulder? Or is that where the bumpstop will attach?

Ya. Pretty heavy. But i might mill some flats or turn it down some in the middle of the larger diameter.

What? That small lip on the bottom still needs to be cut off.

Oh I wasn't sure about that. Nice looking lathe work. Since its steel, it would probably be stout enough you could almost hallow it out.

Nope, you want to leave the shape the same and just increase the length of the "walls" on the outside of it. That indent is what centers the spacer at the top, and doesn't need to be changed.

Nice...i know sheets if that stuff is kinds pricey I can't imagine blocks of it being cheaper then the cost of buying them off if ebay.

The flat side us suppose to go against the inside if the inner fender.. Gives it a lil more clearance.

Required, slides over bump tower (the metal tube inside of the front spring).

No problem, just don't make a huge spacer, there's vendors that sell great priced springs.
