What Do I Use For Shock Stand Offs?

I'm just gonna use fuel tubing. it fits the screw shaft snug pretty expensive for 8 stand offs. should be used for top and bottom of shock. i just did one shock and there is no rubbing on the tower and the shock is free to move. this is still the stock shock, should clear even betterr running one shock on each wheel.

i found an alternate cheap resort for stand offs. the shower curtian rings that hold the shower curtain they have little rings on them and they are an exact fit. there is 9 on each ring and work perfect. forget $10 for 4 of htme when you get countless amounts of them for $10 from target in the shower curtain section.

i can't find a picture but the have those round things that roll on the curtain ring,and the round things are the pieces you use for the stand offs. i mean these things fit perfect. moms is gonna have a fit when she finds a ring missing.
 
Nice find...but for the life of me i can't quite picture what your refering to.

try google for a pic...I'm curious as hell as to what they look like.

can't remember :hammer:
 
LOL I can here her yelling god dammit were are my curtain rings LMAO

Ya thoese are B joes I have stand offs coming from UE The super maxx shocks have 6mm tops so I don't think the rings will work..

when you installed your nova towers did you pull your hole diff and all out to get to the bottem screws??? I said F IT and drilled two holes in the brace..
