Mr.Dean_Yates Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 well I was going to machine them 1.5" Thinking about a 10 truck mass order. so 20 pieces at 1.5" If any one wants a shorter one, say 1", let me know so I can adjust the material needed. I am thinking with the rate of the machine shop I am using, 6061 aluminum, and the necessary bolts and washer and shipping... I am thinking roughly that the price would be $50-$60 dollars. That is way on the high end though, because I would much rather say, "oops it'll $30, not $50" then "oops it'll be $50, not $30" so that is just my rough estimate that i worked up today. Going to check some more machine shops out a in downtown. figure they might be cheaper, and some more metal yards for material. This I am thinking is a good estimate, they are still $50 dollars cheaper then 4x4parts.com. They charge $89 for 1" spacers, and dont forget the shipping. $15 dollars to puyallup Wa for me, could be more or less for you. So $50 shipped to ya, via postal service by me. Is a pretty good deal. half off pretty much. If i can get enough people to go for it, I am going to do it. If not, just going to make my own. so lets get some opinions... whatta yall think? Second order of business, can anyone post pics of 2wd ball joints, or have any knowledge of the diffrence between 2 and 4wd. 4x4.com made it seem like they are both the same and would fit either. But rough sketch, $50 (2)-1.5" aluminum spacers (4)-Grade 8 2'' long bolts, and lock washers set of instructions for the clueless, drawn up, by the none other then the badass, me... doing the ball joint spacer 1" or more requires new torsion indexing tho doesnt it?

poor-mans-720 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 4x4.com say you should tighten your torsion bars all the, but i suggest re-indexing them. doesn't take that long, and everyone who has done it, will agree with me when i say the results are worth it. Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 i posted 2 videos on reindexing. it takes less than an hour to do it. with very minimal tools. install your spacers FIRST though. i reindexed mine before i got my spacers, and i am smashing my bump stops flat... Quote Link to comment
