I'm guessing you don;t have the stage 2 kit or you would have just cranked the coilovers for the extra 2 inches already. You shouldn't stack the AS ontop of the stage 1 spacer, thats really bad and will put your angles in a pretty bad postion. So going with the fact that I think you got the stage one you can run adjustable bilstein 5100's in the front and crank them 2 inches with the spacer you already have. (this is only advised if you don't do much offraoding) The only other option would to get new adjusable coilovers to replace the spacer altogether and crank them up.

yeah sorry about that its the stage 1, i was stupid when i ordered the kit. i didn't think i would want to go up anymore, but i miss my 38's..so you think bilstein 1500's are the way to go????? have you used them before???

yes u will keep the same springs and spacer from procomp, the only thing u would need is new shocks which is the 5100's and u might want to get a aal or a 5" block in the rear too. u can buy the shocks at shockwarehouse.com
