okay so if u guys didnt know mine is a 2wd, i want to do the 2 inch in the front... so im thinking 1 inch on the bottom and 1 on the top to help things ride smoother... my question is... and ive heard people say it can be done but other say that you need aftermarket control arms... id like to put the 2 inch in the front... can it be done.

Why would you put two 1" spacers on each spring? It's gonna do the exact same thing, but cost more.

Just get 2" spacers made, It's not going to really make a difference.

Some say that it's ok. I personally think that 2" is really starting to push the limits on stock UCA's.

If that's the biggest tire your going to be running, i would just play it safe and get the 1.5". I ran just the daystar 1.5" with 285 75 16 (33x11.50) for about 3 years and had no issues fitting them and they looked perfect.
