Yeah its called you have a coilover truck and have no need for 2 shocks because on 2.5 will handle anything you can throw at it.

what i really was looking for is something skinnier than my coilovers since they rub up against my spindle arm at certain angles. even in that forum with that crazy setup he still is pretty close to that arm. im sure if he cranked those coilovers a little more they would hit.

Do you have upgraded coilovers now? if not get them they make a lot of room in your coilbucket as well as even at max droop or any trun they are small enough that the upper arm cant hit them.

no i have stock coils with fabtech shocks. and a spacer. I believe upgraded coilovers would help but I wont get as much height out of them as I do with the spacer. Then i might have rubbing issues.

You can get just as much out of them as you could with the fabtech shocks and a daystar. You can get 3 inches out of them, I dont recomend it because of angles but you could if you needed that much to clear

Dave, I might be willing to trade my used coilovers for your stock coils w/spacer + cash. Make an offer or something, I really might sell them as I'm eventually getting rid of the truck and I won't get more for having them on. I say eventually because I'm scared to throw anymore cash out the window at a new Superduty.

I'm thinking about get some aftermarket coil-overs for the same reason. I think I could clear these 37's with just a 2" spacer ( or coil-overs craked 2") and that would help this damn angles... What do you think Dave?

Hey Josiah, hit me up if Dave doesn't want that deal.

I have a spacer now and I clear them fine (only once i hit a bump while turning pretty hard and it rubbed a little when i hit it) the only thing i dont like is that the spindle arm hits the stock coil and that the suspension is so stiff. I think slightly cranked coilovers would be a better ride.
