How much is too much?

nb11 · Nov 8, 2010

I have a 2003 ranger, 2wd, with coil overs on the front, and I'm wanting to put some coil spacers in to level it a bit. I'm thinking maybe 1.5-2 inches of lift. How much is too much before I need to make changes to fix the amount of camber? And how much does an allignment job usually cost? Thanks!

u can lift it up to 2" without messing the components.
as for the alignment cost, idk lol

Alignments are about 70 bucks a pop...

So some coil spacers and an allignment job is going to be safe and not screw up other suspension components? Will my stock shocks be long enough? I just want to be sure before I start buying parts and taking my truck apart, because I'm going to be doing all the work I can myself.

the coil spacers will lift it and still be safe for the ball joints, and ull need larger shocks, the 4wd spec shocks will work fine.

Im still on my stock length shocks and it aint to bad, although I was gunna get some blisteins but then I hydrolocked it so I have to get my truck running before I get new shocks

the a-arm setups do require longer sochs when u lift it.
the stock ones hit the travel limit very fast when decompresing after bumps, and its very annoying

Will the stock shocks "topping out" tear them up?

And bennybooster, how many inches thick are your spacers?

Yes. Eventually.

He has a different style of suspension then you. The thickness of his spacer may not apply to your suspension style.

How much is too much?
