Hell, I have a BRAND NEW Daystar sitting in my room but Im not using it in fear its going to be too much on the CV axles. Oh well, I'll just do the 1-1/2" spacer now and eventually a 3" body!

Check out, www.performancelifts.com
They have 3" body kits for 2004s+ and you can also get the GAP guards with the kit. This is the route Im going soon as I have enough money for 4.56s and my tires are worn down a bit.
. . . you used the Autospring 2" along with a Rancho lift?

HERE WE GO AGAIN! LOLOL This has been BEAT TO DEATH
just do what i got..
6" susp. + 3" body + 2.5" add-a-leaf
much better than buying all new suspension parts that wear out from the damn daystar ... it's a real bad idea to put the Procomp/Fabtech 6" + a leveling block up front. You could do the 4" rancho plus daystar, but definetly not the 6"....but whatver, it's your money...

I have no idea about the Procomp and Fabtech lifts but on my Rancho my CV axles are PERFECT, just like stock. So its basically going to be the same wear on them as when I had the spacer when the truck had no lift other than my leveling kit. Actually less since Im going with a smaller spacer. . .
Now back to my question, should I get the 1-1/2" or the 2" spacer? Remember, I do want a LITTLE bull dog stance.

this is setup "I started it out with a 6" procomp suspension lift running 37s and decided to go bigger so I put a 2" Tuff Country Add-a-leaf in the rear and a daystar 2" leveling kit up front then topped it off with a 3" body lift, Its rolling on 40X13.5R17 Goodyear Wrangler MT-Rs."

How much do you think he spent for all of that. I can't decide what I want. A jacked truck or R6 to commute around campus

As for the rear I used the stock ford (2" block) on top of the block that Rancho supplied. I was thinkin of using he add a leaf but I havent had any problems except I had to re-tightn the U bolts after a long day at the beach of pulling cars out of the sand

I really think I could go with the autospring 2.5" spacers.
What do you all think???

If I had a 2WD truck, I would have 2.5" front spacers and AALs in the rear. I put the 2.5" EZ Lift spacers up front and didn't like the CV angles, you could tell the boots would have ripped as soon as I put it in 4WD. Also, when the spacers were on, it did not look like I would have had any problems with the upper control arm rubbing on the coilovers.
Again, with a 2WD truck, I say go for it.
