Does any one have any experience with Velocity Off Road's 6061 billet coil spacers?

Their spacers look outstanding, nice machine work and great anodize finish. I'm wondering if anyone here has purchased these for their JK....

 

There is really no reason to get billet aluminum coil spacers, especially for $250. Unless you already have all the parts, look at the Teraflex budget boost with shock adapters to get lifted quick and cheap.

 

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not interested in polymer spacers. Why? Cold flow, thermal creep and ozone aging. They're easy and cheap to manufacture, typically being injection molded. I've seen glass-filled Zytel creep under load. I prefer strength and durability over low cost. My experience is that you get what you pay for.

 

I would be worried about the noise of the billet type spacers. And for the money you could go poly spacers and a set of good shocks

 

So why not just buy a 2.5" coil kit?

 

X2. If you keep your stock springs they will start to sag..alot ..when you start adding stuff(bumpers, winch, hi-lift and other trail stuff). Do yourself a favor and just get the spring lift now. I learned the hard way

 

Indeed, that is one option I am considering, along with quality, adjustable shocks.

 

Has anyone heard of anyone's coil spacers failing?

 

my thoughts exactly.... there has pretty much been every possible problem brought up on this site except a story about a failed coil spacer.
