I was just on the thread before this one talking about 2" skyjacker coils/W 2" F/150 coil spacers fairly inexpensive 4" of lift in the front. Then go with 2" warrior shackles in the back W an add a leaf, this should keep you under your buget. You should be able to fit 32's i believe. Good luck.

Brake lines..

Yeah what he said... LOL

 

[dreamr]

Your brake lines will be fine up to about 4 inches of lift or slightly more.

[benner31]

i got some 31 x10.50's....cooper stt....gotta nother question....am i going to be able to align the damn thing...some moron at the tire shop said it woukld be impossibel...something about camber and caster r going to be way off.....any one know what the hell that means?

 

[benner31]

well where can i get all this stuff?....warrior shackles..add-a-leaf....anyone heard of mako offroad for coils....and why f 150 coils?

i got f150 coils in the front and my tires are so f'd i didnt need to extend my brake lines i got a lot of room and i can flex my truck out lifted my truck about 4" in the front i got 3" bodylift $100 and 3" shackles $11.00 and im runniing 33's but im telling you right now dont get spring spacers and all that b's just got a bodylift untill you can afford a suspension lift cause its not worth it and if you want bigger after the sus lift and b/l then get spacers and shackles but its kinda pointless so im sayin go with b/l for now $100 and easy as hell to install anyone could do it

 

[FROADER]

You don't want F-150 coils you want the F-150 coil spring seats out of a '91ish 2wd F-150. go to the Ford dealer for those as they are not expensive. The shackes, any off-road shop should be able to order them.

You can't do coils and coil spacers. The guy at the shop is right, you will never get it aligned. For 4" of suspension lift, drop down brackets are required and extended brake lines wouldn't be a bad idea. For now, you can do F-150 coil spring seat, Warrior shackles and/or add-a-leafs and a 3" body lift. It'll run you about $200 if you do it yourself. But if you only have 31's and don't want to buy bigger tires, just stick with coil spacers and shackles/aal's.

And please search, these topics have been discussed about a bajillion times.

 

[benner31]

thanx again for all the help!

 

[benner31]

gotta nother question...wich is the best combo?...2 in' coils with aal...2 in. coils with shackles...f-150 seats w/ aal/shackles...which works best?....am i going to have to align the thing no matter what i do?

 

[j602]

2" coils w/ shackles. Will flex and ride best. Well, the coils won't ride better than spacers, but will flex better.

 

[benner31]

thannx!
