The new Moog coil springs I installed last summer are sagging back to how the old ones were. I measured it and it sits about 3 in lower in the front compared to the rear. I was also reading in the Tech Library under "Lifting for Cheap" that the amount of lift can be pushed to 3 in for super cab trucks. If the TTB/TIB lift ratio is 1.5:1, then I can get away with a 2 in washer spacer, shouldn't I? I know I have negative camber right now, and I figure that I should be able to do this and still align it and have my truck completely level. I was going to do this and get a 1 in lift block or Belltech lift shackle for the rear. Any thoughts?
 
62 people have looked at this thread and have no opinion? Or is is that I make so much sense, that nothing needs to be said? :icon_rofl:
 
you could try the washers without welding them. keep adding them untill you can't align it anymore. or start at 2" and work down. if it works it works. if not. you just can't have 3" of lift for cheap

I was thinking about starting at 2 in, and if it isn't alignable, I'll take washers out until it is. But I think I can squeeze 3 in out of it, like I said before, the springs are 3 in lower than the rear and should be able to do it.

I just posted a very similar question. Curious to see how it works out, because the spacers I ordered are either 2" thick or are the right thickness to provide 2" of lift
 
i made my spacers 2" tall, which came out to be 2.5" of lift (even though the equation says it should give 3"), but it sits almost perfectly level now so im happy.
 
Ok. I also have another question. Who has them poly spacers that you either hate or love? I wanna know how much lift in the front people have achieved with those spacers. I'm thinking of getting a kit with add-a-leafs for the rear.
