Lift Kit Questions...

Ok, i will be installing a 3.5 spindle lift kit with read blocks on my supercrew in the near future. i already have spacers in the front to level it out, so do i remove them when i put the spindles on, or just leave them installed?

Also, am i going to need new upper control arms and a camber kit with the lift?

3.5" spindle lift won't change your angles so if you can already get an alignment with the spacers without the camber kit then you won't need it for them.

You can leave the spacer or keep it, it doesn't make a difference just depends how high you want to go. And you maybe nose high if you keep it depending on how big of a block you got for the rear.

If you haven't however replaced ball joints now would be a could time to do it because chances are you'll damage the upper and lower when breaking them free off the old spindle.
