Mine are 60mm o.d. and an 11mm hole through the middle. Height is whatever length you want to lift by. Standard lift is 2" (50mm). any higher than that and your looking into adjusting/extending brake lines, fuel lines, clutch lines, steering column extension etc etc.

Cool thank you but is that all 12 spacers as on all the pictures I have seen 2 are smaller which I think are the front 2?
Thanks again

Nope ... all the same height and diameter. Only difference is the SWB trucks have two fewer than the LWB models. Also remember that the rear 4/6 bolts are M10 fine thread and wind up into captive nuts recessed in the body itself.

Going on from what Neal as posted, the captive M10 fine bolts can be like rocking horse poo to source. For a 2" lift, the old school Corsa 1.6 cylinder head bolts do the job. They come in a set of 8 but you only need 4. From memory they are 153mm long. The other 1.5 thread bolts are alot easier to source in sets with the new nylok nuts, again from memory, for 2" lift you'll need 160mm length.

I have a source for M10 x 1.5 x 160 size (fine) and they post . £1.15 each.

Now do realise they sell nuts and bolts and are not Isuzu dealers so look for what you want and go on from there .

Hi Simon - hope I haven't thrown a curved ball but is the fine 1.25 thread (captive bolts) and the longer bolts with nuts that you can source 1.5 medium?
For sure the Corsa head bolts do the job for the captives.

Think Pete is right in fine being M10x1.25

Also the back 6 are fine thread on the LWB. I think you only need 4 on SWB models.
