I have daystar body mounts on my CJ and they are excellent quality. I am sure that their ciol spacers will meet that quality as they are made of the same material.

You won't be disappointed. I have them on my '92 Bronco. They installed easy, and are strong.

Actually, it has an appointment for an alignment at 9:00 this morning. I dont think it will go back into specs without some new hardware. Let ya know in a few hours.
My wife's gonna be so happy if I havta tell her about another $100+ on this leveling idea of mine. My secret truck fund is tapped out.

Well.....threw it out 2 3/4 degrees. Well, maybe that would be in, not out.
They threw in the 2* bushings....leaving it still off 3/4*. He says thats within specs. Okay..........so now I need a brush guard or another battery to push it down a little. Now whos the redneck.
