I see you SN, are you a Sailor? Do you mean a machinist in the Navy? If so, it would be really cheap.

The three bolt pattern can be seen at the top of the coil spring perch.

So is the ebay leveling kit spacer the same thickness as the TRX spacer? And do you guys think 35s would fit with the ebay leveling kit?

Is compression and extension suspension travel the same as stock after the spacer is added? Or does the suspension just start out 2" lower, and therefore have 2" less extension travel when the spacer is in there, because shock extension limits it from dropping farther?

If suspension travel is the same, particularly if extension travel is not decreased I'm thinking of getting a set of these spacers off of ebay, and just going with the 35s on my truck when the wheels come in on Tuesday. What do you think guys?

I believe there are two spacer heights available.

The spacer just puts 2" between the coil and the spring perch.

Suspension travel stays the same...should give ya 35" clearance & a level truck...don't go too wide on the rubber.

Just like Bountyhunter said.... 35's but not too wide would be fine.... Id like to see the 37's on there, doesnt seem like it would take much work..
