Coil spring spacers

Where can I get 2-2.5" coil spring spacers that will bolt onto my 78 F250 with 460 HD coil replacements. I would like the rubber insulaters that go between the top of the spring and the perch.
Thanks
Dustin

ive thought about making my own out of metal, the ones you can buy are made out of plastic, i wonder if they would get brittle and fracture over time? im not sure how long theyve even been out, seems like only recently ive heard of them. Dave.

Ive got 2" daystar blocks on my 92' F150 4x4 and thay been on so long i dont remember where I got them. They seem to be holding up well. I would try a search on yahoo for daystar coil spacers or something like that.

I beleive they're urethane, and that's supposed to hold up real well. Which is why many guys swap out their rubber bushings for urethane.
