coil spacer

[1319 Strawn Ave]

is it possible to use a coil spacer with the doetsch 5 inch lift if i'm using the UCA from doetsch too? I am putting a 2 inch AAL in the rear along with the block from the suspension package, and I do not want much if any rake. thanks. I have a 2wd 1998 f150

How is it lifted 5"?

3" spindle 2" springs?

[1319 Strawn Ave]

yes, coil and spring. I just don't want to risk damage or problems with alignment. sorry coil and spindle.

I don't think you can combine lifted coils and coilspring spacers without new, longer upper control arms.

As long as you have the aftermarket control arms you can run a 2" spacer or less. But you will have to get a new alignment.

the uca's from doetsch are the longer ones right? Or are there other ones I need. Thanks for the replys this sight is the best for ford truck owners.

The doestch ones will work, as long as they're not the factory ones. If you haven't already bought them springtech/canuck motorsports ones are usually cheaper and they're the same exact ones as the doestch ones, besides being a different color.

cool, thanks for the heads up. If I do decide to use the spacers am I risking anything breaking or difficulty in driving?

[pizzaman711]

The ride will be more bouncy because of the added leverage, and of course increased wear on front end components because your adding more lift. But drive safe and know your trucks limitations and you'll be okay.

will do, thanks again.

If he already has 2" lift coils it wont work with a 2" spacer on top of that. Thats like the fabtech 7.5" which is a drop down crossmember.

I have 3" coils and a 2" spacer, it works as long as you have the aftermarket control arms.
