Coil Spring Booster
 
Has anyone used these before? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...d=coil+spacers

Do you think they would work ok? Planning on using it for lift, maybe lowering. I figure these are better than the rubber ones.

Thanks in advance :metal:

Yikes! I wouldn't go near those things. Forcing a spring open (or closed) by a single point like those will cause huge stress points on the coil. I think you would be better off doing the lift or lower properly, with the proper springs, shocks, spindles, etc.

Those are crap and potentially dangerous. They can break under stress and throw you into another lane or oncoming traffic. If you want to lift or lower your truck do it the right way and keep yourself and others on the road safe.

Didn't even think about them breaking or anything, that would be pretty bad. I feel like they shouldn't even sell these if they could cause that much damage. Thanks for steering me away from them!

If all you want is a level stance and your truck still has stock suspension on it, all you need is a pair of 2in drop shackles for the rear.
