Like the title says I want to make my own coil spacers for my 09 JK X. I have access to copious amounts of UHMW polyurethane and lathes. I was thinking about making 2" pucks. I was wanting to know if these lathe turned spacers hold up as good as injected ones you can buy. Also ive done alot of looking around and emailing and if anybody can find me diagrams with dimensions on spacers for both front and back itd be a godsend.

Thanks guys.

For $140 you can get 4 with longer disconnects.

I know there are some good deals out there. But im the kind of guy that gets satisfaction out of making my own parts and putting them to use. If i can make it myself why not do it?
I was planing on buying disconnects, front tracking bar and rear tracking bracket; also making bump stop extensions and if im feeling frisky maybe even wheel spacers.

Not to sound like a douche, I know I can buy the spacers and they arent that expensive. But I just wanted to know if anyone heard and failing or safety issues with lathe turned spacers.

I don't think you can expect any of the manufacturers to "give" you there designs. If you want to make your own, then design your own. That is why companies got a R & D department. What you want to do is copying someone ells's design.

Using another's design for reference is not copying (well maybe...but everyone does it). I plan on ordering some spacers within the next two weeks. I will let you know the dimensions once they come.

Thank you! thatd be a big help.
And yea like philly said id basically be using them as a guideline. I might change or add a taper to the middle or increase fitment area walls as I see fit. Maybe even play around with the thickness to get a stance that i want.

Thanks again philly ill really appreciate it.
