Coil-over sadness/madness

Both the upper and lower mounts need spacers. So you need a total of 8.
The spacers that go between the upper mount and shock bucket aren't related. You only need two of those and they are different.

All we need is a person to trace a set of brackets onto some posterboard. Then scan those drawings to post online. A few detailed measurements of certain surfaces of the parts would tell you what scale to print them at. The end user could then print them out out whatever scale was correct as indicated by the measurements. You'd then have exact templates to trace onto metal and cut out.
I might PM a member here and see if he'll let me "rent" his spare brackets..

OH SNAPS! Thanks KLC. I wasn't aware you were taking it to that level. I think that method would be the easiest for people making their own brackets. Instead of trying to draw out certain measurements on metal and guessing angles, etc.. Just adjust the scale, then print and measure the TRACINGS. If they're not right then just re-scale and print again until they're right.
Excellent man...

Exactly...the aluminum spacers I listed the RCD part numbers for in my previous post were referring to these that go on the top...not the "side-to-side" ones.

In case it will help...you can still order the gussets and the aluminum upper shock mount spacers directly from RCD...I just ordered and received them last week.
Gussets 20-52498-17 = Qty of 4
Spacers 20-833167 = Qty of 2
Total with shipping was like a whole $32.00
For that price..it wasn't worth trying to cut my own!

These are some pics I have found that seem to show important details. If someone doesn't want their pictures, let me know and I will take them down.
These are the pieces to the kit that was offered by ORW
Brackets used in ORW kit
Limiting straps to prevent over extending coil overs
Cutting of the bump stops
Upper coil-over mount
Steering stop that seems needed on some trucks
How the coil should be placed
I will add more to these sections as I find them.
