Ironman 30mm spacers

[GuntherRommel]

Anyone used these? I just bought 4. claims 2.5" lift and soften the ride. hoping to just use them in the front to level it out.

Interesting link.

I have a base m998 and do not have a bad ride with stock tires and springs so never had the need to experiment.

I used to sell these type of products in another lifetime as cheap fixes for worn out springs and typically made the ride harsher.

I am leary of the material holding up over many many.. years as I have seen rear jounce bumpers on Chrysler and gm crumble to dust.

I might avoid this item.

I already bought them, but they were cheap enough. I wish they were not bright green

I used to do this also in another life. Yes it will lift the truck. If you are going to go as far as pulling the springs to install them you should if you has the loose cash to just buy new springs. Not sure about a 2.5" lift. Just how thick are these spaces? Just to show my age the company that made those old thicker rubber coil spring cushions was Cal Custom. LoL

I do not mind being the test bed on these since they are already on the way . Will install them on the front first and report back. My M1123 has a huge 2+" rake. I watched the facebook video and he seems sincere enough but I know sales people are full of sh*t. I will say I got tracking within a hour of purchase

Id be interested in feedback.. I have a little rake and was looking at leveling with spacers... Keep us posted.. Cant hurt for $50 clams, just some time..

Just be very careful, make sure you have the vehicle WELL supported!!

It’s a known fact in the H1 and hmmwv community that spring spacers are a no No on these trucks.

 

[osteo16]

May I question why? I’ve seen plenty of steel spacers go into some rigs… Is it a handling/roll issue or something else ? I’d like to hear some more info … Thx

 

[osteo16]

????? Anyone ?????

 

[Retiredwarhorses]

the hmmwv‘s suspension doesn’t articulate much, it was designed not too, at least not like conventional autos, adding spacers creates more extreme angles on the halfshafts both inboard and outboard side of the CV joint shaft, when the control arms do articulate under load, it creates binding On the CV joint, I see in the shop numerous times premature shaft failure and boots being eaten up by the rubbing created by the boot being articulated to much. If you want a lift? Use a body lift.

 

[GuntherRommel]

I got called out of town but gave a set to my friend before i left, he says they work but only give you 1.25" lift. Make sense because they are only 1.25" thick. What RWH's says makes sense. Only thing i am trying to achive is a level ride , which a body lift would not fix. I need 2 " in the front only

 

[osteo16]

So a better way to reduce rake would be to add weight to back of truck?? Or shorten rear springs? Or do a progressive body lift, front to rear.. 2" front , 1" mid mounts and 0'" rear.. Just some Random Thoughts by Ocho..

 

[GuntherRommel]

These cheap things actually work, he got the other side on and it gave 2+" lift. He is going test drive it in the morning. This truck was as raked as mine. Not saying its a good idea. Im gonna do mine on Wednesday if it works out. I will report back

PLEASE paint them black before putting them on
