I am considering adding the AUTOSPRING 2.5" spacer to my FABTECH 6" lift, and adding a 4 or 5" block in the rear. Is anyone out there doing this?? Also if you are running this setup, have you had any problems with tie rods, ball joints or anything else???

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

not running it personally, but have heard alot of complaints about doing it. Upper control arm hits the spring.

 

I wouldnt do it Chris. Your truck looks bitchin as it is. By the way, you never replied to my thread the other day. Nice meeting you, and seeing your truck. I needed to see an example of a lifted 2WD anyway, I am sure this is the route I wanna go. Later man...

 

Man your truck looks awesome the way it is. What would you gain by going bigger? If it were my truck I'd be happy with what I had. Sink the money in a school fund for the kid. That's just my opinion though. Good luck.

Nice meeting you the other night.

The reason why I was complimenting adding the spacers and blocks is because I was at hovley today checking out the banks monster exhaust on a white 06 FX4 which had the 8.5" cst on it, and I really liked the height that it had. Craig said that it wouldnt be a problem adding the spacers and the blocks. It was a FIESTA truck also, so you prolly know which one im talking about. Do you think I should do the pocket flares? I really like the way they look.

 

Buy the adjustable coilovers.I know it is more expensive than the spacers but atleast you won't run into any problems with them.

Take it from me, I tried it on my 4x4 w/ EZ Lift spacers...It wont work! It will definately work on a 4x2 though. You should have no problem, remember...I have the coilovers though. Really shouldn't mount any differently.

I think it would look AWESOME...especially if you went with a 37" tire.

Also, don't get the Autosprings, they are ugly. The EZ Lift spacers are billet aluminum and look great. Plus, if you want...I'll give you a deal on mine.

 

How many inches are the ez lift spacers? Also how much do you want for them??

 

They are 2.5" and you can have them for $100 shipped.

 

DUDE! Please for gods sake do the sane thing and either go with the bodylift or go with adjustable coil-overs. For heavens sake don't jam spacers in there please!!

 

Care to explain why a body lift? I'm curious as what you have to say, other than the fact that is what you did.

 

Does anyone know if the Dirt Logic C/Os would work on the Rancho lift?

 

why body lift? To get 3 more inches of lift. That's the only reason! I'm not sure i understand where you are going with this question lol

As far as price - it was almost 1200 bucks for bodylift + install here, but i've seen way lower other places. Coilovers are like 800 bucks but you only get about 2" out of them.

If you jam the spacer in there with your lift kit you will regret it. not the 1st day or the 1st month, but you will eventually regret having done it.

Can you take a picture directly from the rear and the front? In your gallery, in the side profile picture it kind of looks like your exhaust is messed up?

 

I'm trying to understand your reasoning other than justifying your body lift purchase. I don't understand how it would hurt your lift...I mean anymore than what your lift is doing to your truck already.

I have the Dirt Logic coilovers...the spacers offer the better choice (when lifting on top of a lift)...less strain on various components compaired to the body lift. Unless, you have a 4x4...IMO, if you have a 4x2...the spacers are the way to go, you don't have to worry about CV angles which is the main concern w/ spacers. Oh, and of course price.
