That won't work. According to information recently posted in another thread, Hotchkis coils are no longer ground flat on the top. Silveback needs the stocker.

Sorry about the incorrect info, I just read a post a week or so ago about Energy's spacer's is 3/8 and I believe 1/2 inch, guess I should have read a bit more careful.

If the part I'm seeing on fordpartsonline is correct, they are $11 list, $7 discount.

thanks tim. i got my sway bars and coils today.
i was looking at the hotchkis coil springs and they might work w/o the spacer. they are not flat like the ruslow springs but are very close. you can stand the spring on its top and it will set there. may order a set of new spacers anyway though.

If it does not look like one part of the coil will dig in, I would get some urethane isolators.

Belltech has some nice shaped coil spring spacers with a notch in them for non flatted springs.

thanks guys. i am going to install the spacers. hotchkis techs said using the springs w/o spacers would be okay. noise and lower ride height were the only downfalls.
