A friend of mine found some chunks of a white delrin-type material that measures out to a perfect 1.5" thick. This stuff is very durable, too. I figured I could just cut out some of my own coil spacers out of it and save some $$$ on my budget build-up. I pulled a rear rubber coil isolator from the Goblin and am planning to use it as a template to cut out some spacers. Has anyone else out there made their own spacers? If so, do you have any helpful tips or advice about it? If there's interest, I'll take some pics and write up how I did it, just let me know. Thanks.

I did it, used the isolater as a template also! They came out good, and work fine.

If I cut out all 4 the same based off of the rear isolator, will they fit the front as well or is the front bump stop a different diameter? Also, I found out that this material mills and drills great, but doesn't cut very well! I have one cut out now and it was a pain using a jigsaw. I'm going to look for an appropriately-sized hole saw for my drill press and see if I can't speed up the process some... if so, I have enough of this material to make 4 whole sets of spacers. I might make some extras...

If you make them all the same size, the front will sit taller.

i made a set out of poly ethiline they were just 4" around with a 2 and 1/4" hole in the middle, i never put them in because i had no time and money was tight so i sold them

What he said. Gotta take about 1/2" off the front ones, and it'll sit level.

I think you missed what his question was...
As far as I know, they're all the same diameter. I bought 2 sets of spacers for a j**p from energy suspension...they're all the same. I'm even keeping the extra in the front, I find most track/kicks could use the extra 1/4" - 1/2" in the front(most I see are slouchy)

Wow , id be interested in a write up for sure. And i agree with the sluch in the front. The extra 1/2 inch would be great to even it all.  What other material would work for this? Pics would be great too!

I've heard of people making motor mount inserts out of windshield urethane...after it hardens it's pretty solid. It could probably work if a guy could make a good mold that won't stick to the piece... I wonder.........

Yeah, actually the front of the Goblin is a bit slouchy, plus I'm going to be adding quite a bit of weight up front soon with a bumper, winch and skidplate, so I'm leaving the front spacers full height. I don't know where I read that the front and rear bumpstops were different diameters, I think it was RRO.

My Isolator measures 4-1/4" outer diameter and 2-1/2" inner diameter and it came out of the rear spring cup...

I have one cut out, but it was a pain and is kinda ugly. It will work, but is not quite show quality LOL!! I'm just using a jigsaw for the outer cut, then boring out the center on my drill press. I'll get some pics along the way...

Well, I stopped at Lowes tonight and picked up a 4-1/4" hole saw as well as a 2-1/2" hole saw. With these 2 tools, I'm able to greatly speed up the process and end up with a much better looking final product. I might whip out a couple sets for sale to make my $$$ back on the hole saws! LOL!

One question though: these spacers fit over the bump stops perfectly, but now the isolator no longer fits the tapered bump-stop post, it's center hole is too big and the isolator can slide around on the spacer. I would think this would be bad if the top of the spring could move around, right? So how do I take up the slack inside the isolator? wrap the bump-stop post with duct tape?

Either duct tape the bump-stop or JB weld the isolator to the spacer.
JB weld will work for anything..we used to have the transmission in a van held together with JB weld...worked for a good 8 months, then it finally went. A quick trip to the hardware store for some of the stuff that sets in 5 minutes and we were back in business

In the past i've spring spacers out of good quality plywood, easy to cut and if u paint it it lasts well. Primitive yep but it works

so your telling me you made coil spacers with plywood??
how long did it last? and did you take them off to check the wear out??

I wouldn't use plywood except maybe for mock up, but not daily driving. The stuff I'm using is a very durable plastic compound...
