Title: Coil Spacers
Post by: Autobot on August 22, 2007, 06:52:36 AM

 Hey everyone. I was looking at the Masterkit1 site and their 1 1/8" spacers. It says you can fit 235/75R15 (29") tires on after that.  Is that true, and has anyone tried this? Is it worth the extra money they cost to have the metal spacers?

Also i was looking into Boondox's spacers as they're cheaper and probably even less on shipping. For those of you who have them how do you like them? I'm mainly concerned about the ride quality afterwards. Does putting in the spacers make the ride stiffer? I mean I love my tracker, but it's a bouncy enough drive as it is already . :P

I just got done with a Boondox lift on my 02 GV  and i love the new look!  I am putting
235-70-16 (29") on mine.   It rides good but I had to reconect the swaybar due to the new body roll with out for my wife to drive.  Oh and be VERY carefull with the ABS wires during the install!!!

What year is your Tracker? I make coil spacers that I know will fit up to 98's. I'm not sure if they will fit newer or not. They are $75 for 4-1.5" and $90 for 4-2". I also will combo 2 of each for $80. Most guys will use the 1.5" in front and 2" in back. The combo is $80. Shipping is included in all prices. Let me know if you are interested in any of these if you think they will work.

I am running 235/75/15s on my ZR2 Tracker and I have no rubbing or any problems with mine and I have the ZR2 flares and no lift at all. I think changing to this size has given my Tracker a better ride and look. There is a picture of my truck in the ''Post Your Ride'' section. The Masterkit 1 looks like a good setup but with non metal spacers you will get a little bit smoother ride, with the Masterkit spacersit may be the same as stock or worse.

I tried 235/75r15's on mine with no lift,  and I would have been fine until the first corner  :)
I could barely turn the wheel without them rubbing my fender.
After saying that, I should point out that they had less backspacing than stock rims.
