I have Lift Questions, Please Help
2005 Ford F-150 S/Crew w/ 6" Skyjacker lift and 22" Mazzi Hulk Rims and 35x14.5 IROK's
alright I have had my 6" Skyjacker lift on now since 06. I am now wanting to run 37" Grapplers. I do not believe I can tuck them with my wheel selection. Can I install a spacer set up above my coils on the front and another spacer in the rear to gain another 2-3" of lift? If so please attach a link to another thread of adds on what company might be able to supply me with this needed equipment if it does in fact exist.
Thanks

if you have coilovers in the front you can. it'll either come with a 6" spacer and use the stock coilover like mine, or you can get the new coilovers. then you can just use any bolt on style leveling kit. but if you do already have the one big spacer on your truck, i wouldn't recommend stacking spacers.
alright here are some quick pics of the front and the rear set up. I know, I know it needs a good cleaning!
OK, I cant seem to post a photobucket link? How do I post pics on here?

First of all if you get coilovers then you DO NOT need a spacer. You adjust the coilovers to give you an additional 2". Now for your question, YES you can add a leveling kit to your lift now. I have a 2.5" AS spacer on mine along with the 6" PC lift. Look in my albums and you will find the photos I have. There are several post on here already asking the same question. I'm in the process of removing my spacer and going to coilovers ostly b/c it's not the safest way to do it. I would recommend getting the Bilstein shocks that can be adjusted. It will be safer and ride much better. Also you don't want to go more than 2". I went 2.5" and my ball joint and cv angles are really bad.
I cant do a body lift because I have the receiver welded to the frame solid and I have a steel welded roll pan. Nothing would line up again. So it is me on 35's for the remainder of the trucks life of another alternative. I was hoping to add a 2" spacer under the front coil and another block on the rear. Maybe I could adjust the front up using the skyjacker lift? If someone can tell me how to post photobucket pics up I might get a better answer from you guys.

If some one on here can post my pics of my lift I sure would appreciate it. I can email you the pics or the links.
So I do have new coils on the front, I dont see where I could adjust them to gain the needed 2" inches.
So if I have to add spacer will my strut be able to stretch the needed 2"?
The truck sits level right now, so I will need to add a block in the rear, I currently have 4 arched springs, one straighter one and a block. Who would offer a kit with a front 2" coilover spacer, rear block or another spring to gain the needed 2" in the rear and then of course the U bolts? Should I just call Skyjacker?

You caan buy the bilstein 5100 shocks that are adjustable to give you an additional 2" of lift for $300 . The 2" leveling kit you can probably pick up for $50 on here from someone selling. The coilovers are going to cost you $1000 -$1500 and they're severel places to buy them and severel to choose from. For The rear put a 5.5" Tuff Country block, 2 degree shim and a 2" AAL and it should sit level.
