Used these to gauge the amount of lift I needed for the kit.

I'm giving these away.

They were 10 or 15 bucks a piece at Canadian Tire.

Jack up the van
Jack stands on the frame
Lower the rear end
Push/thread in the spacer inside the coil spring
Jack up van
Remove jack stands
lower van

1-1.5" lift

I live in Kits and working at times out in Langley.

Merry Xmas

Yep

It will give a mild 1-1.5" lift in the rear and just level off the front with a t-bar crank.

It's a cheap way to lift it.

I would not consider it a permanent lift that will last years.

But it's free :M

Hey Jesse,

I wanted to use those on the bottom of my springs but I read if you do, you should use the lock ring that is mentioned on the back of the package. I couldn't find any info on the lock ring, do you know anything about it?

You can buy the lock rings at canadian tire if you'd use them on the bottom or top.

I know two guys in AB who have been using this style on the bottom of the spring for years with no lock ring and no issues. They wheel their rigs as well.
