Sky has a 1.5"  [link]http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/sidekick.htm[/link]  
I have also heard of using 2" jeep spacers and boring them out to fit the trackick.  [link]http://www.zuwharrie.com/content/view/11/27/[/link]  I'm not sure about the difference in quality or anything like that.  

I recently found RC 4x4 in Brazil [link]http://www.rc4x4.com.br/[/link] which has 2" spacers and the strut extensions to go with them.  I've heard the total will be about $150 US, but I haven't talked to them yet to confirm.  I will have to talk to them when I am ready to get new tires because I would like to get the struts extensions.

I used a set of 2" Jeep spacers on mine, very little grinding needed, worked perfectly.  I don't remember if they were YJ or TJ or whateverJ that Jeep has now though, but they were maybe 30 bucks a pair, so 60 total.

It would have to be TJ spacers because the YJ was leaf sprung...

The Rocky Road spacers I got measured only barely taller than 7/8" each. When I complained to RR, they said that the website claimed 1-1/8" of lift, not 1-1/8" of spacer. Since the front A-arms act like a lever with the coil being the fulcrum closer to the pivot than the wheels, the lift of the spacer is amplified. Meaning a 7/8" spacer provides almost 1-1/8" of actual lift. I still think it's misleading the way their website is worded >:( >:( >:(

For my project Tracker, I'm going to try the 1-1/2" spacers from Sky...

When you used the jeep ones, did you use the front or rear.

Or dosn't it really matter?

i bought mine on e-bay for a jeep tj they are 2 inch and 40 dollers for all four. i took a 2 1/2 hole saw cut them out and put them in. worked great but 2 inch was to much on the front the struts was all the way out and rode ruff so i took them back out and made the front 1 1/2 thick and they worked great. i also put 1979 ford f-150 shocks on the rear they was 2 inches longer and bolted right on happy trailing guys....... 8)

I think these are the ones that I used, not sure if this was where I ordered them from unless they changed their site.  I don't think there is any difference between front and rear.  I ordered two sets of the same and put them in and they worked fine.  There was a little grinding on the front to make them snap in perfectly if I remember correctly, but not much.  Worth the 60 bucks anyway.
