What do you mean? spring spacer/ strut spacer.
I fabbed 2 inch spacer on my ATP 330 and my SP 700. all I used was a female (threaded on the inside, and fully galvanized) union, to two inch heavy duty electrical conduit. 2.00$ each at Lowes. put the factory washer on the top of the spacer. I will have picture up in a week or so..

The reason I need strut spacer dimension is because I am making it out of 304 stainless steel the spring spacer is 6061-T6 aluminum I figured ss for the strut would be better because it will with stand almost anything. Please help me I need this before work tomorrow.

All I did was install a 2" spacer under the front coil spring. I simply moved the lower tube of the shock up 2" in the lower housing (the peice that clamps the lower shock??). The reason is so that it maintains the factory ride, but doesn' sag with my plow and bumper.

Thanks kj330 that was what I needed to know, i'm going to cut the strut spacer to 1.5" ( the piece that will fit under the lower shock) and i'm going to leave the coil spacer at 2" all I wanted was for the front to be a little stiffer than stock and around an 1.5-2" taller because of the winch, bumper and all the crap I hall on the rack.
Thanks again, Victor
