Thanks for the info,  I'm looking to modify a set of XJ spacers I have laying around.   I got them off of EBAY last year for about $20 shipped.  I'll measure them up soon.

There is a slight variance in all dimensions on my set except the thickness. Hmmm, must not be an exact science I guess. Looks like they've been turned on a lathe and not molded.

it doesnt matter how long the peice that sits in the coil is does it? like theres the part thats 107 MM and the part up from it in your diagram thats like 61mm... i was just wondering cuz i need to go buy the material tonight, unless i have access to some 5 1/4" shaft that my dad needs.. he said he'l pick up a foot extra if i need it

Don't have the spacers with me tonight, they're in the shop, but the whole thing is less than 3" tall I'm sure. But that would be relative to how much lift you want. I've heard over 2" of lift from spacers and your asking for trouble.

I did my XJ 2" coil spacers today.  A   2.5" = 64mm  hole saw worked perfect.  The XJ spacers look like they were made to fit once the center was open up with the hole saw.  


Spacer,   part I cut from the center,  Stock Sidekick coil spring isolator.


Chopped a Kick fram at the mirrors forward.  Now I have a jig to work my custom suspension off of.

Just on the topic of looking interestring.   I was checking out a 1990 Range Rover Front axle.  Radius arm design (Like 78 ford) with coils and very close to Track / Kick width.  

But nothing I could use as far as spacers, I didn't measure up the coils.
