i will 3rd the desire for that info!  

also i have a ? for the peeps that have them, it seems that every time i hear of a certian size coil spacer put in the actual lift is more, why is that?

i would like to make my spacers out of Delrin or some other poly, anyproblems with that?

last question, how much coil lift can you get away with and NOT mess up your camber?

I got a set coming from RRO, already on the Big Brown Truck. I'll measure them for you guys if nobody else knows.

Wouldn't the measurements needed for the coil spacer be fairly easy to obtain with just some ruling device and your Track/Kick?

Will do. They're 1 1/8". I've heard so many different quotes for lift height using these spacers I really won't know how much lift I'll get until they're installed.

Just checked the UPS Site and they were in SALINA, KS at 2:43 P.M. so they're about half-way here. Delivery is scheduled for Tuesday. One question though, as cheap as these are from RRO why would you guys want to make them yourself? They're like $90.00 delivered.
