Anyone have 6" susp w/ 1.5" spacer and 35's?

I see a ton of trucks with 6" susp and 35's and 6" susp + 2" leveling kits or 8" susp with 35's and 37's.

I was wondering if anyone has a 6" susp + 1.5" leveing with 35's. Any pics? How do you like it?

I know its hard to tell in a pic and its only a 1/2" difference but im still interested to hear from others with this setup-

why would you put a spacer on a 6" lift, which ruins your CV angles and UCA angles, just to be half an inch lower then an 8 inch lift?

keep your angles, just get an 8" suspension.

Because a basic Pro Comp 6 inch lift is like 1,300 dollars or cheaper and a spacer is 100 dollars, where as a Rize 8 inch lift is about 2,600 or something. Its about thousand dollars more for just 2 inch plus whatever tires you run. For some its not really worth it.

As for as the 1.5 inch spacer with a Pro Comp lift, as far as I know, it does not work. I bought the 1.5 auto spring spacer and tried to combine it with my 6 inch Pro Comp spacer and when you do, the shock springs hit on the frame before you can get it to go into the mounting holes(top 3 and the bottom one). It also won't line up with the bottom control arm for the shock. Its kind of hard to explain and I should have took pictures, but I sat there for about 30 minutes fighting it to make it fit, and it would not go.

I have a procomp 6 inch lift on my truck. I wanted to put my procomp spacers in there on top of my lift. With a little of pounding it will go in. It does hit the frame but when your truck is on the ground it doesnt hit. The procomp lift is a complete 6 inch lift it drops everything down 6 inches. To my knowledge adding a leveling kit on there is no different than just a leveling kit on a stock truck. That being said. It does work but if you are going to do any pounding on your truck I would go with one of the kits with adjustable coilovers and crank the sh*t out of them. That is what it did. I put 25,000 miles on my truck with stacked spacers and just put the procomp coilovers on this weekend because I drive it hard and didnt want to break the spacers.
