Coil Spring Inserts

[Danno1]

Well, after installing Eibachs, I'm still curious to see if the rear would look better slightly lifted.
Probably a 1/2" more to see.
Does anyone know of a slip in insert that can be installed between coils?
I know 1/2" is harder to come by than a higher lift.

Just say no to that type of height adjustment. All that does, in essence, is eliminate the functionality of that coil. It joins two to become one and you will have wasted the money on your expensive springs.

This! Cheap and easy but does change the spring properties.

Coil inserts are GARBAGE and should never be used. They help nothing and screw up the ride by limiting spring travel. If you truly want to lift the rear, you need proper spacers. I have a Traxda 1 1/2" lift on my Explorer. If you truly want to be a little higher, you need to add correct spacers above the spring. You could even put your own pieces of 1/2" steel or aluminum plate with center holes in them to accomplish what you want.

Does anyone make the above spring spacer in 1/2?

I'm unsure if anyone makes a 1/2" spacer for the rear. Maybe call Traxda and ask if they would make a custom set of 1/2" rear spacers for you.

I will say that watching Traxda's own video of how they install their lift in the rear of the Explorer is complete BS. I did not do it the way they show. I followed a video from Houston Speed Freaks on installation of lowering springs. The HSF video shows an incredibly much easier process to get the rear subframe lowered in order to access the rear springs.

Before I put spacers in I might look at a Steeda rear spring. They are claimed to stand a little taller.

As posted about getting a little more "lift" but not alot in the rear after Eibach installation posters were commenting putting Steedas in rear with Eibach front would look more drastic than wanted. Maybe Traxda might make a pair of 1/2 for the upper coil pocket. Or anyone here can do it?
