Question?

I have a quick question. Does the coilover give you as bad of angles(ball joints) as the 2 inch spacer would?

Yes. It's lifting the front of the truck basically the same way as the leveling kit.

I'm confused. What coilover? What suspension set-up? The coilover won't give you a bad angle, unless their cranked to gain more lift than the lift or suspension is made to handle than they won't give you bad angles.

No matter what method you use to lift the front of your truck, the upper and lower control arms and the ball joints are going to be the same... coilovers, spacers, springs, spring jacks, air shocks, asjustable Bilsteins, etc. etc. etc. One inch is one inch no matter what planet your from.

The only way to avoid the increased suspension angles is to use a full suspension lift that drops the lower control arm mounting position and comes with a new steering knuckle. If you don't do BOTH of those things, your angles are going to be F'd up.

I assumed he was comparing leveling kits to the adjustable Rancho or Bilstien coilover shocks.
