leveling coils w/spacers

funkingonutz · Aug 3, 2008

can you use a combination of the skyjacker leveling coils and the coil spacers?
because i put the leveling coils on my 95 supercab and because its a supercab the springs settled to low, only giving me about one inch of lift.
so can you use spacers with the coils without serious camber issues??
i will be getting adj. ball joints soon but not yet.

Sure, you should be able to put spacers under the coils. As for alignment, it's hard to say if you'll have camber problems as each setup is a little different. On my TTB, I was able to lift 2.5" with stock camber bushings and pivot brackets. My camber is barely within spec.

I actually ran this setup before....Its possible, but probably not highly recommended for everyone for a few reasons...

First off, there is just not enough drop in the axle beam/radius arm to get both the spring and spacer in the spring mount...Theres ways to make it work tho...

Second, Stay as far away from the polyurethane spacers as possible. They will deterriorate and fall out. Not good when driving down the road...this correlates to a huge change in alignment (camber and toe) and can cause you to wreck.

If you want to gain that extra inch or soo, just get some 1 3/8 (1.375) ID, 3" OD washers and stack a few of them. Theres some info in the tech library about it.

Just remember with the ttb, the amount you lift it (spacers) will multiply by 1.5. Soo if you go with a .5" spacer you will net .75" of lift. A 1" spacer will net 1.5" lift and soo on...I would have them welded to prevent movement.

You will also have to get some dual adjustable camber bushings to get it aligned. Ingalls 594, Specialty Products 24180, Moog K8986, Spicer #6122025, Napa NCP 264-3950, Superlift SLF-1120 all will work...pick your poison. Good Luck...
