Just keep in mind they are priced each. After shipping they would be around $100 for a pair.

Still for adjustable spacers it is a good deal.

I still don't like the fact that they're threaded. I know more than likely they will handle it but I'm just weird about that. I'm trying to make adjustable ones without threads.

Adjustable.. Nice.. The threading is a concern.. But modest driving, even modest wheeling and they are prob ok.. Look into a set of fixed spacers. Fat bobs garage (.com) is legit. Got the 2" BB a year ago and all is well. The kit I have is poly spacers up front, and drop shackles that you can set at either 1.5 or 2".. My 02!

I cant imagine shipping would be $20 for those. And every time Ive ordered from Summit, Ive gotten free shipping. It might not be the norm, but they have it often enough that if you didnt want to pay $10 for shipping you could wait a week til it was free. Either way, $80-$100 is still not a ton of money.

I'm thinking of a couple different ways. One way (if I decide to sell them) you will more than likely be able to go buy some pipe and cut it to whatever height you want your spacers to be.

Thank God somebody finally came up with an adjustable coil spacer for the XJ that is cheaper than those ACOS things. It's highway robbery what they want for them. Now, if somebody could just come of with a strong/dependable manual hub kit for the XJ that is about 1/3 of the price that Warn and Ramsey wants for their kits.

It is if you cut different lenghts of pipe. And that's only one of my ideas. But how often would you adjust them anyway? I have almost unlimited capabilities it's just the part of finding the right design.
