I am trying to find a 1/2" - 3/4" rubber spacer to place under my drivers side coil spring to adjust the uneveness of the ride height (side to side). I found one at JCW, but it is listed for a jeep and it is 2". Anybody know where I can find what I am looking for?

Pep Boys usually carries these rubber spacers, both the kind that go completely under the spring and the 'insert' type that go between the lower or upper coils to prevent a coil from compressing so much when you lower the vehicle down from the jack.

Do it "right" and get a GW spacer.

Funk,
Do you have a part number or will they know what I am talking about if I call?

I don't have a PN and didn't have one when I called. Just ask for Doug and describe the part you need, he will know what you are looking for.

I called them today and got all of the info. Now I just need to figure out exactly how much I need to go up.
Thanks Again,

Glad I could help. That was a bugger of a part to find when I was looking about 1.5 years ago.
Everyone had the rubber parts that were an inch plus. I got lucky one day and someone on TC came up with the GW tip.

This past summer while I as cruising Carlisle, I happened across two of those aluminum spacers like GW sells. They are from back in the day and were in the $0.50 pile. I gave the guy a buck for the both of them just to have them and put them on the shelf. I know some day down the road I'll need them and I know at that point they'll be even harder, if not impossible to find. I didn't know that GW made them ... I'm glad someone still does!

Those are standard spring spacers. Just about every 4x4 shop should have them.
For a close estimate, get a spacer that is 1/2 the thickness that you want to raise the car.
