What about a 2"inch one?
And sorry, I'm in OrEgone ;) ;D

If I built 2" spacers, could I sell them??? How much would people pay?

I've yet to see anyone here with a Tracker or Sidekick that runs OK ;)

I've been making and selling 1-1/2" coil spacers for a couple months now. Even charging around half of your price, sales are slow. You do realize that a 2" spacer up front would make for over 3" of front lift with no provision for a front diff drop(darn lever-fulcrum effect of the a-arms...). That would mean some severe CV angle stress and increased wear...

i have been selling the machined version of these spacers for a while. They sell for around $25 a pair real well on e-bay. Much higher and things slow down.
I am now starting to cast (mold) the spacers out of poly urethane ( like a daystar spacer).
I will be able to sell these a lot cheaper because of the material cost is a lot lower and the labor is greatly reduced. All of the money is in the mold.
I am thinking about starting them on e-bay around $15 a pair or $30 for a set of 4, with buy it now at $20 and $40.

How's the durability of the polyurethane? How do they hold up to the compression up front? I experimented with it a little and found it to be too soft to hold it's shape long in the front coil buckets especially. The stuff I was using lost it's shape within a month or two... That's why I went back with the machined UHMW Poly. Much tougher stuff!

I am using the same shore d hardness poly as daystar. I am running these in three trackers around here with no problems.ÂÂ
But this is why I am looking for a few more people to test them (would like to find people close to here).

Well, SOme people are running 2"inch spacers without problems.
Maybe a 1 3/4 would be better?
