Before I call King for one missing spacer (#45) and pay $17 shipping, does anyone have one I can persuade you to send me?

I might have one that will work. What's the dimensions on yours?

Make one.

5/8" necked down to a 1/2" bolt. I'll have to measure when I get home. Since King only had one drawing, I figured their shocks all ran the same spacer. And it's a hat style spacer.

I don't have access to a lathe anymore. :'(

I looked in my misc. junk bin and I didn't see any. I was thinking I had one or two, but they were from old SAW air shocks so they may have been different. You might give RPM offroad in Bristol a call, they are a King dealer and they run them in all their Baja trucks. They may have some. 423-573-3300

Thanks Ben. :dblthumb:

Looks like king calls it a bearing spacer and it depends on the shock size I think.

Also, another option to call is filthy motorsports.

Update- King Shocks sales is ****-ish. I'll be ordering elsewhere. Not a big dent out of their pocket, but on future builds I will not use their product.

Spacer is 5/8" wide, for 5/8" hole, with a 1/2" I.D.

Would these work?

Yes they would, but I already sent an email to WOD. If I don't hear back, I'll order those. I tried your guys in Bristol, but I think they were already headed to the house. I didn't get around to calling folks til almost 6.

I think they close about 5:30ish.

I dunno, I should have given them the benefit of the doubt, but I was pissed when I typed this and first impressions are hard to shake.

Usually, yanks and western yanks are wierded out about how friendly we are, and we are appauled at how dickish they are. Could be one of those times.
