Aluminum Spring Wedges... W T B?

[uglytruk]

I've Googled this, and found JC Whitney for a JEEP, but I'm not sure if they're wide enuff for the Blazer, and I only want 4%, not the 6 or 8% they offer. And they're $$$ for a little chunk of 'luminum...

And where do YOU buy your U Bolts?

why not steel?

 

[uglytruk]

Good question. They're alum from what I've seen... I'm not fussy...

 

[ryoken]

JKW has em.....

and Kurt hooked me up with some nice u-bolts... local spring shops are a good source too sometimes...

Be prepared to unbolt your spring pack and remove the broken wedges on a trail if you wheel with those. Ive been through around 4 sets and they always break and loosen the spring pack. Go with steel, or for the price, cut and turn your spring perches 4%.

Yeah most local spring shops will have aluminum ones. I've got them in the 2.5* flavor right now, guess I should find some steel ones.

You can even save a little cash by having a shop cut your wedges, and you drill your own hole. Pennys count too

I've got to say for anyone with even access to a welder, cutting and rotating the perches is not a big deal. It's a couple of hours work at most.

do not use aluminum shims.way too soft.i already had this happen with mine.i almost lost my axle out from under my truck.so i went with steel zero rates with 4 degree cut.it hasnt had a problem since.plus you get a one inch lift with it for cheap.i think i payed 50 for it.

I put a 4% set on 5 years ago. I'd prefer steel, but I use these TEERUKS for work. No off roadin....

I've got welders and grinders, but the wedges are quick and easy... If flimsy

Where'd the steel ones come from? I'm gonna' chk the links...

Another factor to consider is that these wedges make the alignment pin in the springs shorter, making them harder to line up. Ask me how I know. Went with JKW's wedge that bolts to the spring pack with the alignment pin and couldn't be happier.

Tru... I'll check 'em out...

i got my u-bolts made in town. saved on cost, no shipping and they can do any size you need

the local bender guy is nice, but his prices! He's out ta LUNCH, but he sells, so who needs me?

I was going to get mine from JKW, but Teraflex sells them too and they are local to me. They also sell longer center pins.
