leveling coils with leveling spacers

[Tyler Brisson]

i was wondering if you could buy leveling coils and get coil spacers and still fit under stock suspension?? anyone ever done this?? let me know!!!!!!!!

Chances are slim, so no.

You'll have to choose one or the other.

Spacers (steel washers) are cheaper than coils, and you will retain your current ride quality.

Leveling coils cost more and you take a chance of stiffening your ride a bit (for some this is desirable for instance with a snow plow, dual batters, or heavy winch bumper).

If the nose of your truck is very heavy, AKA Supercab, 4.0L, Winch, steel bumper, and dual batteries you might be able to do it.

I'd run some washers, or if your dead set on leveling coils, buy the coils, install them and if there is any more room for a bump up in ride height you can add washers to suit your taste (assuming there is still room for alignment).

After you get washers/coils in you will have to go get an alignment, as there will be positive camber and toe in.

Actually u can. I'm running 2" spacers and lowered coil buckets for. Total of 4.5" of lift with ra drops and 2.5" tuff country pivot drops. Also running camber bushings. So my lowered buckets are no different then longer coils so to speak

Well it depends on how many spacers he uses. I can promise he can't run a 2" stack of washers/spacers and leveling coils. If the nose is heavy, you can get away with maybe a few spacers underneath the leveling coils.

Otherwise, 2" of spacers = 3" of lift (due to the TTB having a 1:1.5 lift ratio) coupled with 2" leveling coils will be AT LEAST 4" if not almost 5" of lift (again depending on how heavy the nose is) and thus requiring drop brackets.

If the leveing coils sag out a but, a few washers can be used to bring it all back to levelness, but remember the stock components can only handle about 2-2.5" of lift before an alignment is no longer possible (requiring the appropriate drop brackets).

Effectively all you did was lower all the stock stuff down (with the drop brackets) so if your running spacers you are in the same boat as a stock person would be if they ran JUST spacers.

that


if you wanna lift your truck 4 inches, just buy a lift kit, you can usually find a few in the classifieds section for cheap

I have a bunch of spacers if you want, I'll sell them to you. I have 10 and they are a little over 1/8" each, so that would give you 5 per side or 0.625" of washers for each coil.

PM me I can work paypal and throw them in a flat rate box and have them your way for cheap.
