I have done my homework and checked the archives for this info but cannot find an answer for this one.

I have seen X's around town with Bl's that used rubber spacers between the body and the frame. The pics I see on websites selling Bl's all show what looks like hard plastic spacers, maybe Nylon?

Wouldn't the rubber do a better job of stopping any vibration from being transmitted from the frame to the body and finally to my butt ? Can someone steer me to a company that sells a 2 inch BL that uses rubber spacers instead of a hard plastic ?

Thanks
 






I dont know of any one that makes a BL with rubber spacers all the ones i know of have the hard blocks. I have a PA 3" body lift and i dont have any problems with vibrations due to the BL. There are already rubbing bushings @ the frame that will absorb vibration.
 






Yeah.. it shouldn't really matter what you use as spacers. You could use cinder blocks and it shouldn't make a difference. Since you're retaining the stock rubber bushings, I think using a softer spacer will only add to a body roll problem.
