Then the ones who posted?
I'm sure you weren't refering to me, as I haven't posted any yet, all I said is I was getting some made. If you just ASS-U-MED something, then.....
It's awesome to me that everyone is so feisty about strut spacers.
If you don't think it is worth it, don't buy them. They were worth it for me, so I did and I'm happy. I thought I'd share what I found.
I am fully aware that I could go to a shop and have something made for less, but I didn't want to deal with having to explain a bunch of s**t to someone that hasn't done it before. And since I havn't done it myself, I opted to buy.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

dude, do you have beadlocks (if so thats effing awesome)?
Mickey Thompson Classic Lock. They are bolt on's, but the cool effect d**m close and cheaper. These are powder coated black.

I would be interested to see how you mounted them to the strut and to the truck, as well as just seeing pics of your truck in general!
For clarification, they cost me $145 US. The web shows AU$.
In any case, I'll post some pictures as soon as they are on. I'm not actually doing the work but will try to get as much as a can from the guys doing it.
I'm not an expert with this, but from what I can tell from various conversations I've had, the spacers don't extend the strut or spring in any way. They basically place the top of the strut lower. The stiffer springs will actually place the strut in an extended position and cause the strut to be the limiting factor. I'm planning on combining these spacers with OME springs.
Also, I’m looking into fabricating new brackets for the front diff, effectively lowering it and therefore placing less angle stain on the CV's. You’ll all know how the final setup goes…
Here is my Q.

If those are in AU dollars, then it would be around 145USD$... not bad considering the finish and the threads idea...
Thank you! That's what I thought. As I said ealier, not sure shipping costs as I was lucky enough to side step that, but quality is great, they are the only one's I've seen with the mutiple size options as well.
I'll let you know.

If the thread I started about strut spacers is any indication, wait for all the people to start screaming what $165 USD is way overpriced.
I expect it and it does't bother me. Frankly, I haven't seen anything as good quality, and sometime quality costs money. On the other hand:
1) it gives those who were really curious about them a picture as the one on the web isn't right,
2) anyone who is making them might take a design idea from them.
I thought we were here to help each other out

Just started a new topic on the spacers. The image they use on their site is misleading. The real ones are the correct shape, and a very nice quality.

Don't know if any of you have used these, but I thought I'd share a pic.
These are the Snake Racing (www.snakeracing.com.au) 35mm strut spacer. Had a buddy bring these in from Australia.
Direct from Snake Racing, they offer sizes ranging from 15mm - 50mm. Very nice quality. The bolt holes are threaded, and the set comes with longer bolts, etc.

welcome! i just hope we have enough room for 2 QX4s!
Well I was hoping to slide in the backdoor and regiter as an R50, but everyone wanted specifics
Thanks for the warm welcome and compliments.
"Nice ride. Welcome to the BACON, I mean, NPORA!"
It's okay, I eat pig. Cheers!

Hey folks - Been over at another forum for a while and thought I'd drop by here as well. Found lots of cool info that's been helpful. Here's the latest pic of my Q.

Technical drawing isn't my gig, but if I can find someone to do it, I'd be more than happy to share.
