Default Front coil spacer???

OK well I have a 2.5" RC lift, I was thinking about ordering some front spacers from Northridge4x4 But wasnt sure what size i should get? I want them just because when i get my LOD stinger and Warn winch it will weigh the front down alot.

So....

1. What size should I get?
2. Why do they look differnt some have bump stop things on them i guess?
3. How well do they hold up?

.75 should be more than enough. depends on how it sits now and how you want it to sit after the bumper and winch are mounted. not sure what you weight but sit on the front bumper and that is probably a little more than the bumper and winch is gonna drop it.

I went with 1.75" spacers front and rear to accomodate a front bumper and winch and a rear bumper w/tire carrier holding a 40" tire. Most people say 3/4" is enough of a spacer to accomodate a moderately sized bumper front/rear.

But hey, spacers are cheap and afford alot of lift relative to the investment. Cop4x4 put the Teraflex 2.5" spacer on Orange Crush (plus the Teraflex 6" long arm lift) and it handled fine.

I think you are talking about the rubber seat for the spring.
