Anybody know who makes either spacers or extensions for my 2001 Tracker?

I guess I should have asked for some available in the states. I may have to go with OME struts, but boy are the wanting some cash for them!

If you get OME Struts you might as well get the springs too

If someone can get me GOOD dimensions off a strut spacer I will start making them. The better solution is send me one so i can copy it  8)

Thanks for the link to Boondox. I sure wish I was still a machinist, I know I could make this stuff way cheaper. I may have to go buy a lathe and mill.

It would be great if SOMEONE did start making these extenders or spacers locally.   The quality of the metal ones I received last year were lacking quite abit... for what they cost.  They weren't trued on the inside ID (out of round) and they were made out of soft steel.  Even if someone DOES finally field a "complete spring lift kit" for these newer trucks, there will still be plenty of people who cannot afford a grand-plus lift but could and would buy the "budget lift" components.  I know from the perspective of local machine shop owners that they are extremely wary of lresulting liability issues on any part that they machine for vehicles.
