I would like to make my own budget lift spacers and wondered if anyone had any drawings or prints they would like to share? Im looking for a 2 1/2-3" lift. Thanks

 

its cheaper to buy them. really. just buy them. please.

 

Unless you have access to proper material and equipment.

 

If you have to ask how to make them, you don't have access to any of that stuff.

 

Yup

 

Here ya go. I'm pretty sure you don't need the flat side tho.

 

Well I have access to equipment and materials. More than enough experience to make these parts on at least 4 different machines. Im thinking aluminum or delrin for the spacers. Thanks for the print.

 

What about outside diameter of the white circle and the diameter of the gray circle?

 

It's all on there, od is 4.250 subtract the .625 wall thickness off to find lower od where the tapered portion opens up to and your good to go.

 

So thats a taper from one end to the other the entire length?

 

The id is tapered but for the life of me I can't remember if it's tapered the entire length of the id or if there is some "land" (forgive the took&die terminology) near the top of the spacer. They do install with the larger id to the bottom, spring side.

 

Just my two cents but I if you're deadset on building them I'd go with aluminum or steel as opposed to delrin. I've done some maching with it on some government work, and it just seems like it would be to brittle for the stresses involved.

 

C'mon man. Ya can't get much more "Budget" than 29 bucks.

You're trying to dollar menu budget your budget.

I don't remember ever seeing so much deep thought over a coil spacer..

 

We as human beings tend to overthink things some times
