Anyone have an old 2" BB lying around?
Time for new tires and I want to go with 31's. I am looking to put in a simple 2" BB in my 04 overland this weekend and get the tires next week. Would love to pick up some used spacers from someone who upgraded their lift. Anyone?
Thanks,
Blake

there's a couple in the for sale section, even one that comes with shocks.

Ya, I went through there. I have commented and PM'd most of them and all the responses I got back have been that they are sold. Seems people don't take down their posts or comment on them after they sell things.  Thought I might get some more eyes here.
Thanks though!
ebay is the next place I am going to look, but you just don't know about the quality on ebay...

Meh. Polyurethane is polyurethane.
I just got rid of my BB spacers a couple weeks ago.

People try and argue they do... But no. Same design + same material. It's pretty basic.

I was wanting to level it out, and they were too tall. They actually measure about 2-3/4 inches, but I don't know what the lift was. They are made of Delrin, not UHMW. So they are tighter tolerance, and not subject to cold flow. I don't know if that matters in this application, but it's a quite a bit more expensive material lol...
The little aluminum spacers are shock extensions. I didn't use them, so they are new.
BCV, make it 40, and I'll ship them out tomorrow...

Sorry itchoulbeme, I found new front and rear spacers for $75 on ebay and they will have it to me by Friday. Thanks anyway though. Do I really need a spring compressor to install these, or can I just disconnect the shocks and jack up the opposite side of the axle to get the spacer in?
Thanks,
Blake

By disconnecting the sway bar links on both sides you will get enough drop to fit them in easily.
