Coil Spacers in 5.0L to Help Fix Low Front-End

[V8RangerBoy]

So, as I was cruising the internet today I came upon a revelation (possibly...). Ever since this whole 5.0L swap and lift kit install (almost two years ago, actually) my truck has ridden low on the front end, pushing the front end out of camber. We ordered the lift for a 4.0L to help with the weight in the front end, but it still wasn't enough. We then installed a set of the load-bearing spring bags to help fix it. It works, but it's a royal pain in the *bleep* to have to fill them about every 2 weeks.

If I go with a set of coil spacers (probably 2"), will this fix the problem? Make it worse? I was looking at just getting custom springs built for it, but they're about $500. Not too hot on spending that for a set of springs. Here's a shot of the truck when it was finally "done" a couple years ago, before we put the load bags in.

coil spacers would work. they are cheap too. try jacking up the front half an inch at a time until you like the way it looks. then get/make coil spacers to match that.

Remember that there's a 1.5:1 height-to-thickness ratio with spacers on the TTB frontend.

(example: if your truck needs to be 1" higher, you'll need a ¾" thick spacer, 1.5" higher needs a 1" spacer, and so on)
