6" Fabtech + Dirt Logic coilovers + 2.5" spacer + 37" tires = Don't do it!!!!

Yep, at least I didn't do it. I installed the spacer on one side today and the CV axle angle is to much! I was hoping it wound't be that bad. It was obvious that the rubber boot was going to rip as soon as it I put it in 4WD. I also cranked down the coil on the other side to level the front end and the angle on that side was just as bad. So...I opted not to go with the spacers, add-a-leafs (<-----should that be leaves?) and 37" tires. I definately do not recommend the spacers on top of the coilovers unless you have a 2WD so that you eliminate the CV axle angle, or if you just want to level your 4WD they would work great. I originally said that the angle wouldn't bother me until I saw how bad it was today. I wish I would have taken pics but I forgot my camera.

So now I wont be going with the 4.88 gears...I'll be going with 4.56 gears instead. If anyone one is looking for EZ lift 2.5 spacers (they are cool, billet aluminum) or ProComps a-a-l (I might be returning these, don't know yet) just let me know. I'll put them in the classified section if none of you 04-06ers want them.

I hate to do this kinda thing... but here goes.

Ive got the skyjacker add a leaf still in the packaging from summit racing also... I somehow ordered 2 on accident. I may just try to return it... but If someone here wants it shoot me an email or something. I might also put it on ebay or the classifieds... this thread just made me think about it.

hmmm they were $120 + handleing from summit (I think $8 or something)...the package is pretty heavy... so maybe like $100 shipped to you?? I dont know... i should really look at the return policy... I know you arent going to want to pay me what you can get them for elsewhere, but i hate to take a big hit. The internet going out really screwed me this time!

You can get them for $100-120 from your local shop. I'm going to try to take mine back without being charged the restocking fee first.

I hate saying it...but a body lift. That's why I'm staying with my 35"s.
