Are there any spacers for the rear coils that mount at the top of the coil between the bed and coil, instead of the bottom on the axle side?
I’m looking for some in the .75” -1” range but can’t find them in any size that fit at the top of the coils like they do on the Wrangler.

I am about to install the Rockkrawler 3” pro-X and was looking to just get a slight boost in the rear. I purchased daystars .75” front and rear spacers but after looking at them in person and looking at Rockkrawlers rear spring pads I’m concerned about stacking them. They are made of the same material but the center of the spacer is not an exact fit to the RK pads center so there is slight play between the two.

All the rear spacers I have looked at online seem to be made the same.

anyone running a spacer in the rear with the RK spring pads stacked together?

Ok well maybe no one makes a top spacer for the rear springs, so the guys running a rear spacer with the Rockkrawler springs, are you guys just replacing the RK spring pad with a regular bottom spacer to gain a little more height?

It seems spacers for the rear are hard to get an answer on, and not much shows up in the googles.

You could always try to cast your own spacers using a silicone mold made from the big RKK spacer with a extra inch of foam glued to the bottom and some pourable urethane. Youtube university has a bunch of video of guys making their own urethane mounts/spacers for hard to get parts.

I would worry about anything stacked as they may sperate under extreme positions and would strive for a singular product.

Teraflex has stackable spacers that don’t have an issue of separating.

Probably not going to cast my own spacers but I may end up using some type of bonding material and urethane to fill the small gap that creates play side to side.

I may install the RK spring pad as is and
go from there. I just thought there would be more feed back here from others running spacers in the rear with the Rockkrawler lift

The biggest trick with spacers is making sure they have corrective angles to keep the springs from bowing oddly. The RKK spacers are clocked and angled to help with that, hence the casting suggestion.

Yeah I get that and that’s why I want to keep them since they already solved that puzzle.

I’m just looking to gain a slight bump in height so if I were to use the daystar spacer along with the RK pad the daystar would sit on the bottom bonded to the RK pad and fill any void between the two.

I wish I could find a top spacer that sits on top of the spring between the bed, to avoid all of this but I haven’t had any luck.
