Has anyone used these?

[michibronc]

JBG (and lots of other sources) sell these front coil spring spacers. The last time I had an alignment done, I asked if my front end could still be aligned if I got 2 inch taller springs and they said that I had the room for adjustment with the current alignment bushings it has in there.

New coils run about $200 or more and my coils that I have on there are pretty new, so if I don't have to buy new ones I don't want to.

They're made in the USA and the Daystar website says they improve the ride, but I'd like to hear a testimonial from someone who's actually used em.

They are awesome, i personally have a set from Daystar that ran me $55 and installed them myself, allignment is just fine with em but you will need a re-allignment to to changing the camber on the wheel.

Awesome, thanks for the info. How long have you had them on? How easy were they to install? Any difference in the ride? I appreciate your response, 92BM

Ive had mine in about 5 months. They were a sinch to install, as they come with all harware to reinstall. She sits a little higher in the front like maybe an inch or so, really hard to notice the difference and i put RS5000 for the quad shock set up, so its probably a little stiffer than most people run but its a nice smooth ride down the road.

id say do them one at a time and all you have to do is:

1. pull the wheel

2. pull the shocks (make sure you mark them if your going to reuse your old ones)

3. unhook the sway bar (if i remember correctly)

4. unbolt the coil spring upper and lower

5. pull the coil out and intall the new longer stud ontop of the factory mount (you may want to add some washers if the extended stud doesnt bottom out on top of the factory stud)

6. drop in the poly spacer

7. and re install in reverse of that

good luck

MichiBronc:

Will I have to get longer shocks if I put some leveling coils (1.5 to 2 inch) in front? I've searched and couldn't find anything. The alignment shop said I have room for the lift with the ball joint spacers I have currently.

My Bronco is a 96, stock height, the front coils are only a year old, but I want something slightly taller to run 33 x 10.5's. Really don't want to get into the full lift if I don't have to.

hey i found this post over on FSB. i went ahead and got the longer shocks for the lift, but you dont have to and yea you could run 33s
