High Misalignment Spacers for Heims.

[Cherokeekid88]

So, I'm trying to figure this all out. Got some Long arms made with a standard bushing on the frame mount end and a Chomo Heim on the axle end. Wanting to throw some High misalignment spacers and bolt them up to my stock LCA mount on the axle, then fabbing up some brackets to mount to the frame.
Just need some guidance, to what Spacers I need and whats the best way to go about it.
Been looking around at ballistic fabs website at the spacers, but really have no idea what im looking at as far as the details.

Do you have radius arms or 3/4 link? Cause if you're talking about radius arms then it sounds like you got your joints backwards. Probably want the flexy joint (heim) on the frame and the bushings at the axle.

But to answer your question. They make misalignment spacers that'll put most any heim at a 2.625" mounting width which is Jeep control arm mount width.

Its a 2 link right now just the lowers, but will be a 4 link. Thanks for the info! thats what I needed.

EDIT: So after looking at Ballistic's website, it seems like they are about 8 bucks a piece, they sound about right? Or is there somewhere else I can get them cheaper?

thats about right. But, local vendors on NC4x4 should be able to get them for the same price if not cheaper

Well the Heims I have are 3/4", and im having a bit of trouble finding high misalignment spacers for a 3/4" heim to like a 5/8 or 9/16.

I am probably just overlooking and not reading right.
Found these.....

But it doesn't say what it will put the width at? I need it to be a 2.625 for the stock LCA mount on the D30 axle.

Figured it out. I got (4) 3/4" high misalignment spacers with (4) 5/16 universal spacers to get my 2.625. Ordered through Ballistic Fab, love the sale they have going on.

I got my High misalignment spacers in today. Question.. are they suppose to just slide in or should they be in there snug? Mine just slide in there, they are very loose but they will come out if i mess with them.

Yeah they just slide in, If you put them in and turn the the heim on it's side they will fall out.

Make sure the fit into the bore of the heim is good, No play in it. Easy way to check is put the spacers in and slide a bolt though it and see if they wiggle.
