Question about lifting front end.

[scott25a]

Vehicle info:
1996 Supercab 4x4 STX
4.0 Motor
2" Add a leaf in rear/spacers up front
3" Body lift
32" BFG's

I have ordered SkyJacker lift coils to replace sagging stock coils and spacers. I am also replacing stock camber/caster bushing with a +/- 0 to 4 degree bushing. I was told I could add steel washers under the spring to give coils a little more lift. My question is how many and what size? Should the stack be welded? If so where? Would like to have washers ready to install when coils arrive. Quick answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

How many washers you can use depends on how much adjustment you have in your caster/camber bushings (it varies with different coils, and weight of the truck).

One way to get the most washers you can, is to set your bushings for maximum negative camber, then just keep adding in washers until the tires finally sit straight.

Thank you, will go that route. Found my answer as to size of washers in the tech section.
