Hey yall just wondering about this set up i was thinking bout doing, i have a 6" and a 1.5" level on my 05 f150 and i can see were the top a-arm is bottoming out on the spacer and cutting a line in it, which im certain is not good but is it going to hurt things, and how big of spacer has anyone else gone and have you had the same problem?

 

Is the lift a spacer lift, as in not replacement coilovers?

 

Yea its a spacer

 

You need to either swap the 1.5" spacer for a pair of leveling struts, or swap the 6" lift spacer for a set of 6" struts. You can only have one spacer.

 

So if i swap the level spacer for a set of struts will tht be a skinnier setup and not bottom out?

 

This is what I was gonna say. But it would've just been repeating his original words lol

Is your A arm hitting because your angles are too extreme, and hitting under full droop?

 

Ya if you look at it when its parked it has an inch or 2 of clearence between the a arm and spacer but im assuming when i hit bumps and it rebounds it bottoms out

 

hmm I hope this isn't the case but you are just running a 6" spacer and then a 1.5" spacer on top of that on top of your coil?

 

I dont know how to send you a picture on here if i could txt you it that would be great but its under my 6" lift spaceron top of the strut assembly

 

Huh, that's a new one! Under . . . I wanna see so I'll PM you my number if you wanna text me a pic sometime

 

Ya so you essentially have two spacers stacked on top of each other correct?

 

Pretty much .. Ive seen it done a lot but all the people i know that done it tend to rig everything so i dont know .... But ya my problem is the upper a arm bottoms out on it and i was curious if i could go bigger in the level spacer of if the dirtlogics would be a better option

 

Well getting coilovers would be the better, but much more expensive, option. You may want them if you offroad a lot, but they cost a pretty penny. You should be able to run Bilstein 2" lift struts up front and not have any issues. The angles should (always gotta gotta say should cause this is "on paper") be the same as a stock truck with a 2" level, but because of the issue you're having, I'm curious as to whether or not your lift gave you a full 6" drop. What brand is it? And I assume 4wd?

 

Yes 4wd and the lift was on the truck when i bought it and doesnt have any name or markings .. What are you referring to being "dropped"?

 

Yes its 4wd but the lift has no name or markings.. I bought the truck with it on and dont know how to contact the previous owner...
