Adjustable front lift spacer block
Is there any interest in a spacer block to lift or level the front that is adjustable. I know some people complain the front is to low before and after a lift is installed. Or when installing a big bumper and winch.
Any remarks would be helpfull.

Respectfully, last I heard, spacer blocks on the front were a huge no-no for safety reasons.
Seems turning loads tend to spit them out at the most peculiar times.
EDIT ~ It appears a result is to outlaw them in some states ~ http://www.800-923-jeep.com/techCorner/lift_laws.cfm (Note Michigan for example).
Also ~
As found here ~ http://www.wagoneers.com/FSJ/tech/Su...t-options.html (under safety). 
It's my understanding now that you're talking about Coil Spring Spacers. That's different.

Before we do anything else, lift blocks in front are SUICIDAL. They're
A-OK in back, but in the front you'll lose the axle and likely your life.
Do NOT do this! Also, do NOT stack blocks in back. They are likely to
come apart on you and anyway, the resulting axle wrap is absurd. Use one
block each side only. Ultimately YOU are responsible for your safety so
please verify what you read here and elsewhere.

Filing this under "Interesting idea, but please don't try this at home."
Edit:
After a PM from John clearing up the subject matter.
I'll open this back up and see where it goes.
Note:
Discussion of ideas for new stuff in the forums is fine.
Soliciting buyers of your latest widget isn't.

if the ride height in the front is not high enough for your liking, you diddn't buy tall enough springs or spacers. Adjustable spacers is like handing a 2 year old a loaded and cocked gun. Maybe nothing will happen, but if it does it's gonna be bad.

I have a set of front coil spring spacers that are adjustable that I had on my 95 before I sold it. They worked great because you can fine tune the height of the front of your truck(side to side and front to back) They go from 2 1/2 to 7" and are solid as a rock, They are alum and are very heavy and are just sitting on the floor in the garage.
