Don't mind that the 2nd one says astrovan, it lists D250 and 350's.

I was looking into the urethane spacers from daystar,got the part number from the first gen sticky on dtr. Those look pretty beefy tho.....decisions,decisions

[dazedandconfused]

I've used the daystar on 2nd gen 2wd's and they work well.

[PToombs]

How much are the urethane ones? The spacers only were like $23. How can you go wrong with that? If you don't like them I bet you can sell them to some sucker on here.

[ellis93]

140$

[dazedandconfused]

Wow they really went up in price. I paid $65 for them in 05.

Yeah,our dollar was worth more too I'd bet.

Back to this

So......got these in today.....


They seem beefie but im not liking the fact that the manufacturer wants them installed between the lower control arm and bottom of the spring

What do yall think about that

[PToombs]

Well, they won't do much good sitting on the desk! WTF did you think they were gonna go? Some peoples kids, I tell ya!

I think you've got sand again, just put them in!

[dazedandconfused]

Most spacers I've seen go on top of the coils Pete.

[PToombs]

oh, I didn't know that.

[ellis93]

oh, I didn't know that.

DOH!

Yeah I don't think I like it....but I reckon I'm putting them in like the paper work says. At least I'll be able to look at them and watch them wear in.
