6' pro comp and daystar

okay guys i have read multiple times on here that it is not a good idea to stack the 6inch pro comp kiit w/ the daystar spacer, but almost everyone around here that has a lift is running that combo. What is supposed to be wrong w/ that???? btw I have a 4x2 and am planning on clearing 325/60/20

How do you plan on adding a daystar spacer ontop of a steel pro comp spacer?? Also you should be able to clear those tires with just the 6" procomp...

Hey gator I have some fully cranked 2wd procomp coilovers that will enable you to run those tires without rigging up the spacers! Hit me up on oomcneilranger@aol.com if you want info on them.

Talking

I would think that you would need to use the autosprings type spacer that mounts in between the top of your procomp coilover mount and the cars coilover attachment base. this way the procomp coilover is left as intended by procomp.

also you should be able to clear your tires without any rubbing since your only at 35x12.50xR20. i have a 6inch pro comp lift and run 35x12.50xr17 with no rubbing at all.

I think you'll be fine.

Just remember this, full cranked coilovers are going to give you the ride such as torsion bars cranked. If you want some more height do like 04procompLARIAT did and get the 4WD coilovers. This way you get more height and you don't even have to crank them so you mantain a good ride.

Why would you want 11" of lift for 35s?

well i have seen a pic on here of a 4x4 w/ 6inch kit and 3inch body lift on 20's and 37's and it looked GOOD. If what people on here say is true that even w/ a 6inch kit and the daystar w/a taller rear block I still wont sit as high as a 4x4 then i would say that 35's would be "about" the same fit. Basically I dont want my truck to sit to low over the tires, even though it clears them,, but i also dont want it to dwarf the 35's that is why i am asking if people have pics of similar lifts. Appreciate the help guys

With a 5" block, and a 2.5" spacer, you will sit at the same height as a 4x4 with a 6" lift....
