Ok so far I have 3.5" Doetsch spindles and a 1.5" coil spacer in the front. Truck is 2wd of course.
3" block and an AAL in the rear. Giving my truck a 5" lift in the front and about 5.5" in the back. I want to lift it higher but more suspension rather than a body lift unless it's my only alternative. I realize I could put a bigger block in the back but don't know what to do with the front. Also, unfortunately I just undercoated my truck (ziebart) if that changes opinions anything. Thanks for the ideas in advance.

 

3" coils and aftermarket upper control arms are your only option besides a body lift.

 

3 inch coil spacers? Or lift coils? or both. And could you point me in the direction where I could find the necessary coils and aftermarket control arms?

 

3" coils. I bought my coils and control arms from canuckmotorsports.com. They are usually the cheapest.

They are the exact same as the Doetsch ones. Mine even came in Doetsch packaging.

 

Anything else needed with this? Or just the coils, upper control arm and a bigger block in the back. And this will give me another 3 inches in the front? So I'll need a 6 inch block in the back?

 

But won't 3 inch lift coils only give him 1.5 inches of lift? Or can they be used with his existing 1.5 inch coilspring spacers? Just saying, a 3 inch body lift will give him 3 inches of lift.

 

Was thinking about a body lift and they seem to work for most people. I just don't want a lot of frame showing or my duals to look bad once the body is lifted.

 

I forgot to add, with those control arms you will be able to re-use your 1.5" spacer aswell. With that much lift in the rear you must like a lot of rake. As for the body lift, with gap guards and and steps most of the time it's hard to tell a truck even has a body lift. For your exhaust you should be able to just adjust the hangers to raise it back up.

 

I only have a slight rake right now with what I have. So if I'm adding 3 more to the front, I'll just add 3 more to the back to keep the rake the same as is now but thanks. I'll probably go with some more suspension because I'll probably just do it myself again. Don't really feel like putting a body lift in now I have it undercoated.

 

Sounds good. I think someone makes a 5.5" block for our trucks.

 

Oh one more question. What about the drive shaft, steering and that stuff once I add another 3 inches? And can you have 2 sets of add a leafs? Never really found an answer to that question. And what about shock size?

 

I wouldn't stack add a leaves. And steering will be fine, as long as you stay at 8" or less suspension in the front. Driveshaft should be okay, but everyone's truck is different so you won't really know until you try it.
