I need to level out the front of my 92 4x4 - I know that you can get leveling coils and spacers to do this...

what is the cheapest way?

the best way?

and the easiest way?

to so this. Also - I am assuming that I will need an alignment afterwards as putting in a taller spring should affect camber..

thanks,
Matt

 

The cheapest is coil spacers and I dont mean Pep Boys or Auto Zone spacers Use a good coil spacer like Daystar. The correct way would be to use new leveling Coils, camber kit and if it requires upper control arms but if you just want to level out the truck, I would say you dont need the control arms.

 

i used rough country leveling springs on my truck. they leveled out the front end perfectly with the rear. afterwards, though, i had alignment problems (unadjustable camber). i then got some tuff country alignment brackets and that fixed the problem. all the alignment brackets do is drop the twin i beams to regain camber adjustment. i recommend both products to anyone, i havent had any problems with either. theres some pics in my sig of my truck after the springs so you can see how level it sits. here's the link for rough country www.roughcountry.com and the brackets www.tuffcountry.com hope this helps!

 

thanks guys - I gotta look into this...

 

no upper control arsm on a 92' lmao

 

They said that I would just need new alignment bushings - and not drop brackets?

these are the 1.5" leveling springs.

beleive em?

 

ask donate . he got those springs . i don't believe he has installed the brackets yet but he had to get them

 

yeah I was gonna ask him, but I think that there are some geometry differences that would make these springs a little 'higher' on a 2wheel drive.

 

92custom,
tehy told me the exact same thing about the springs: "you dont need th brackets, only new camber bushings", and i bought the 2WD springs intended for my truck. i took my truck to a million alignment shops and none of them were able to align it (even with new bushings). i bought the tuff country alignment brackets and they fixed my problem right up. the only thing is that the brackets are designed for 4wd models, and my truck is a 2WD (there really isnt much difference in the suspension other than the front axle), so i had a shop install the brackets. they worked perfectly. if your truck is a 4WD, you shouldnt have any problem with the brackets. i guess my truck could be just a unique case that i needed the alignment brackets, so maybe yours wont need them. but if you do, go with the tuff country brackets. either way im happy with the rough country springs, they definitely did what they were intended to do, and my truck sits perfectly level. good luck!

 

thanks donate.

I found a leveling/snowplow spring kit at JCWhitney with the camber bushings for $170.00...

that is not too bad, would I still need the drop brackets if I went this way?

thanks,
Matt

 

it's been my experience from researching this option that the axle brackets are a nessesity and so are the radius arm brackets if you don't get an extended radius arm . i have been looking into a 4" lift for my 2wd and have been told by rough country that the kit they have is for 2wd and 4wd . that there is no difference in the lift/bracketry.
