    3/1.25 Rough Country Front spacers and hand built shackles.
    I started this thread because of 15CrewMax. I was talking to him about a vibration and the cause when you put the 3" Rough Country spacer lift. He told me that they offered a shim set to drop the bearing but I opted for the DIY because I happen to have some 3/4" plate and because this doesn't have to be CNC machine quality, I can get it done and for no cost. I know a lot of us like looking at pictures so I posted a few with the details. I cut my original cubes to 2”x2” but realized when I fit them that they needed to be smaller to clear the bearing case. I could have stayed with 2x2 if i would have not drilled the hole in the middle of the block. So I recomend going smaller or just drilling to one side of the mid line so that you have a shallow side towards the bearing.

    Material
    3/4" plate- cut to 2”x1.25” cubes
    Tools
    Grinder, cutting wheel & 60grit wheel, 25/64" drill bit, drill press, cutting fluid, paint any color
    Time
    2.5 hrs with paint dry(if you don’t have to shoot from the hip and now you don’t because I got that picture book set up).

    1. Cut out the blocks from the plate.

    2. Clean up the blocks

    3. Mark the blocks.

    4. Drill the holes with a 25/64 bit and cutting fluid

    5. Show off.

    6. Show how tight the bolt fits with the 25/64.
    7. Paint
    8.Install
