Thanks Dubs. It is our opinion, Our spacers are second to none. They are CNC cut from 6061 T-6 Billet aluminum, with screw-in zinc plated studs. Lifetime warranty. Why is this approach better? As you are tightening the 15mm nut the stud can only get tighter as it also screws in from the top. With the "bottom bolt" design, the bolt that becomes your stud, as it screws up from the bottom of the spacer. When you tighten the 15mm nut on top, it is possible to be loosening the bolt. This cannot happen with our screw-in stud design:

[MENTION=156426]F150Lifts.com[/MENTION] is there any advantage to using a spacer system vs an adjustable system? Not coilovers but a system like Bilstein 5100 Ride Adjustable series? What front suspension would you recommend if utilizing your spacer? Sorry, I don't mean to hijack Dubs thread...but it's proving to be a wealth of great info as the build progresses!

Nice!! Those are sweet! Damn it...they're going to get some of my money now too!! As far as the adjustability...is it just a matter of turning the base...as it appears to be a threaded housing? Are there pre-marked height settings? They do look fantastic...I was wondering if you'd go for the silver or the red!

the bottom collar adjusts the height. they are set to almost 3" now from what i measured. no premarked settings. just adjust them both the same. they are set to the higher setting since its easier to crank them down than up if the height doesnt satisfy your liking at first

Ordered mine last night from Alex. I ordered their ultimate kit which comes with the rear shocks and a block. I got the 2.25 inch block which should leave a little bit of rake.

Any thoughts on upgrading your upper control arms while things are apart?

I like to get all my suspension upgrades done at once.

Can't wait to see your truck with coilovers!

(living vicariously though dubsesd until my F150 arrives lol)
