2nd Gen - Wanted Coil Spacers & Rear Shackles

[Gen X]

Need to gain back a bit of clearance from putting on bumpers and armor. I currently have a 1” top spacer but need more.

Anyone have some 2” spacers and extended rear shackles they want to sell? Thought I’d ask before ordering from Nisstec.

I've got these if you're interested. Old OME bushings still on them, paint is flaking in a few places.

Thanks. I decided to order the shackle and spacer combo from PRG.

They are the best parts, it's just getting them that can be tricky. Hopefully he gets you taken care of. I've had good luck with my last two orders that were shackles and spacers.

Hmm. I’ll reach out to them, I am shipping my vehicle out in mid August. I want to install and align before doing so.

In that case call Greg and follow up.

Actually got a shipping notification on Thursday. Says delivery tomorrow!

 

[TerryD]

Track it and see if it's actually in the hands of the shipper

Got my goods. Delivered yesterday, I got back today and grabbed them from the mailbox. Do I need bushings for the rear shackles?

Wouldn't be a bad idea for the frame end. Not sure what springs you have or how old they are

 

[Gen X]

I’m not sure how old everything is. I haven’t replaced them with my lift upgrades. Suggestions for the best bushings?

Let's move this to your build thread but:

OE springs are not long lived if you wheel it. I wouldn't bother changing the spring bushings, only the frame bushings.

I have the White Line bushings from Z1 in my shackle's frame mounts. They seem pretty nice but only a couple hundred miles on them.

Alcan Spring uses Prothane bushings IIRC. And Energy Suspension also makes decent products so its really your choice.

You probably won't get much more than 50k miles out of any of them using it offroad. The extra strain of articulation and exposure to dirt and grime wears them out pretty quickly.
