Default Coil Spacer Lift front same as rear?

I plan on downsizing my body lift to 1" and adding a 1" coil spacer.

Roverparts only sells rear, and im pretty sure they are the exact same as the front. Does any one know

Do they have a hole in the center of them? They need one for the fronts for shock mounting. Have you looked at toddco suspension?

The front and rear are different in that the front has a hole in the center for a shock. I run them under my OME lift springs with no problem. You can make your own all you need is some round aluminum stock 4" i think cut the desired thickness and drill some holes in them. I had to cut mine at an angle on the front so the springs would sit flat on the perches, basically the front is about 1.5" and the rear of the mount is about 1.25".

Good info to have. Thanks. Do they have to be aluminum? Can they be other materials? Would another material work better? I ask because I can have some made in almost any material...or is it best to just stick with aluminum.

You can make them out of any metal i guess. Aluminum is just easy to machine and its plenty durable enough. I dont think I would want to use poly or any kind of plastic or rubber.
