Does anyone know if it is possible to have coil spacers along with the 2" Skyjacker lift? I have heard that you can't go much higher than 2" without extended radius arms, does anyone know if this is true? Thanks-
 






More than 2" I think you need drop brackets for at least the radius arms. Maybe for the beams too. I'm pretty sure that the Duff 2.5" suspension has drop brackets...
 






Yes the Duff kit comes with drop brackets..

You have 2 problems if you go more than about 2" of lift without drop brackets.. The Camber (when you tires do this \ / and the caster.. (can't draw a pictures of that)..

To fix the Camber you either use drop brackets to lower the pivot points or get cut/turned TTB axles (expensive). This will allow it to be aligned and drive straight..

The caster will also be way off if you don't drop the end of the radius arms.. This will make it tracket wierd and steer funny.. and as the caster changes.. it also changes the toe which then eats up tires..

You can get longer randius arms.. but that won't really help this problem.. You can also get different C bushings.. but they can only fix the problem so much.. Your best bet is to get drop brackets (or an entire lift) and go from there..
