I got a 1995 xlt and i have a 2" coil spacers coming my way so i was wondering whats the max of lift i can get on the front with the stock arms because i was thinking on throwing the 2' spacers and 1" of washers but im not sure if the arms would hold up. If anybody knows please help me and get me out the doubt. Thanks in advance.

i think 2" is about as far as you can go and still be able to align it and have close to factory caster

with stock arms and spindles and everything i think you're looking at around 3 or 4" max. I'm running 6 on the stock lowers, but with new uppers and spindles

I wouldnt go past 2". You would really be pushing it after that if you dont have any relocation brackets or anything

If your coil springs are sagging, you might be able to push it a little bit, otherwise 2 in is the max. For me however, I might try a 2in spacer for 3in of lift in the coming months as my coil springs are sagging. I think it will work. Just need to gather the parts.

You can relocate brake lines to get more slack out of them.
