Washer Coil lift allignable?

[Vanner1993]

I've searched the forums but couldn't get the answer I was looking for. If I add 1 inch of washers under the front coils it should equal to 1.5 inch of lift total. Will the truck still be allignable? From what I read 1 inch of washers fits under the coil and the bolt can still be tightened down. I just want to make sure because I don't want to kill tires, it's good now so if the tires are gonna be destroyed why bother for the 1 inch. And what is an average allignment cost? Also, what is the max I would be able to go and still allign with washers because I was thinking of rear shackles too.

a stack of washers 1.5" thick is the max that is still alignable....

alignments usually cost 60-100 for a one time. 130-180 lifetime

Why would you do washers when f150 coils and retainers wil give you the same lift and shouldnt be more than 15 bux at junkyard?

Because they are stiff as hell and ride like shit?

plus u can get all the washers for like 3 bux

Hmm, ok I am new to the bushing style allignments on these, like you need a camber kit and such. So a 1.5" washer lift is allignable stock? I will have to see how much play I have with the allignment.

Exactly.

Washer lift is alignable, just get the adjustable bushings.
