steering arm spacer

[eel757]

finally got my new springs installed and now I've run into a problem
pretty sure I'm going to have to get a spacer. has anyone run a steering arm spacer before are they safe? and how do they drive?

thanks

You want the shortest setup that will clear the springs. Between the block and the arm, the DLE is 2.5" above the top of the knuckle. I have pretty thick springs, but no more than your springs with that block. That is a bolt-in add-a-leaf and not a block, right? If it wasn't there your steering would probably work.

I think Sky Off Road offers a 1" steering arm block.

I have a 1" ord spacer under my steering arm. Seems to be working fine.

I have a 1" steering block for crossover from my old 44 with extended studs, all new never installed. I scored a deal on a 60 before I ever got to install it. Let me know if you want me to dig it out!

that's what I ran into putting my together, I had the "kiss" arm with b52 and a zero rate, I ended up getting a the nwf arm, it sets it up a lot higher, for the dicking around to spacer it, I'd just get a new arm

I (me personally) would weld that space to my arm, just for safe keeps especially on the street
