I have a 2005 f150 FX4 with a 2.5" spacer and I am wanting more lift. I saw that Skyjacker sells a 3" lift, that includes longer struts. Could I run the longer struts with the spacer to give me more lift? Is this possible and what problems might I run into?

you cant stack spacers ontop of those coilovers, angles will be too extreme. It will ride rough and your ball joints will fail.

 

RIght. ANd most everyone agrees that 2.5 inches is the limit without dropdown brackets before you have really excessive ball joint wear.

 

Would I be able to notice a difference in height from the adjustable coils opposed to the spring spacer that I am currently running? Is anyone running the adjustable coil springs?

 

Anything over 2 1/2 '' angles start looking bad . If your already at 2 1/2 . just put on a lift kit .Don't try to Jerry rig something . I've went thru the whole leveling kit deal also . Just 2 weeks ago I lifted my truck 6in . pulling out the 2 1/2 spacers . LOL Its NEVER ENDING !!

 

The ride height will be the same with a spacer or an adjustable coilover. The replacement coilover would just give you a better shock.
