I would keep an eye on that upper washer as all the weight is on the unsupported outside edge of the washer.

I've been known to drive some pretty iffy things, but I'd call that unsafe. It should be solid under the spring.

Edit: Like this pic.

See how it's completely solid under the area of the spring mount and/or the insulator?

I'd be inclined to weld both washers together and have them at the top.
Keep an eye on that for sure.

Yeah it broke once I hit a bump so I'm gonna hold off tell I get some more washers and make it safe

Alright with the shitty homemade spacers out an a fresh inspection sticker on it it's time to start the real work.

Plans now are to redo the interior: new carpet
New door panels
New seat belts
Repaint and repair dash
New speaker wires
New speakers
Heated seats

Exterior: body work
New paint
New wheels
Engine: 4.0 5spd manual transfer case

Suspension: I still have my lift kit off my explorer I plan to use its 5.5 inch lift along with 36 inch swampers

It's gonna take awhile tell this truck is done not only cause it's my dd now but also do to me now haveing twins on the way so progress well be slow hopfuly not though

I got a new car for my new job
96 honda prelude

Traded my explorer for it needed something easyier on gas.

Anyways I had to park the ranger broke a bolt on the power steering an ruined two ball joints and I now need a throwout bearing

So I need to fix those an put new wheels on it

 

[DC]

Scored these tires for $180

37/12.50/r20

Fortunately I had a set of 20s laying around.

Plan is to clean them skuff em and paint em black tell I find a better set

 

[DC]

Bolt in the Steering box fixed got new ball joints hope to have them in tomorrow morning

 

[DC]

Didn't get the ball joints in hope to on Tuesday when I'm off again just to much snow on the ground to do anything

 

[DC]

But I did get the wheels painted

 

[DC]

Brake lines came in I can now lift the ranger

 

[DC]

Finally get a few days off to do some work on my truck

Just kidding woke up to this

A foot of snow everywhere

 

[DC]

The snow melted an it was nice out an I started lifting the truck got the rear done just waiting for another day off to do the front

 

[DC]

The rear is done its a shame that it's just blocks

Started the front just need 3 bolts and nuts and I'll have it done

Taking it out

Lift coils are on

All that's left are to put it back together and put my new shocks an extended brake lines on and have the tires mounted on the wheels I could have had it done today but the woman said I had other plans.
