REAR COIL SPRING SPACER CONVERSION INSTALLATION INFORMATION.
1965 - 1972 Full
Sized GM Cars
Part No. BE-5519-R
This coil spring spacer replaces the original system with the clamp
and bolt holding the spring on to the newer type with an alignment
ridge and the weight of the car to hold the coil spring on. This
system is used by GM from about 1973 to the present.
Installation information for older GM full sized cars from about
1965 to 1972. Always check the coil spring platform or lower control
arm to see if there is a bolt going through to hold the coil spring
on. If there IS A BOLT, then this is
your application. If there is NO BOLT,
then you have the newer type. See order page for this spacer.

STEP 1:
This is what your lower control arm should look like with the
coil spring held on with a clamp and bolt.

| STEP 2:
After you remove the bolt and clamp and spring, make sure there is
no rust or scale on the arm where the spacer sits. This has to be clean
so the spacer will sit flat.

| Step 3:
Next, you can bolt the spacer on to the control arm with the grade
8 bolt and lock nut supplied. Make sure it is bolted down tight and making
contact on both sides of the control arm. |

Step 4:
Next you can put the coil spring on top of the spacer and see
that it does not slide off sideways. The older coils are slightly
oblong but we accounted for that and the coil will not slide off.
They have no reason to move around when the car is on them so
this should not be a problem. Reinstall everything back on the
car making sure the top of the coil sits into any groove at
the top. Sometimes you will have to turn them to sit properly
at the top.

Budzter's Coil Spring Spacers
will lift your coil springs up 1 full inch resulting in a
lift of 1 inch. The resulting compression of the coil spring may lift
it 1/8 to 1/2 inch more depending on the strength of your coil springs.

not responsible for any accidents, or injuries, or damage,
caused by the installation or use of BUDZTER PRODUCTS.
