Lift on top of lift

[rino351]

Okay, I have the Trailmaster 4" and I don't think it is tall enough.
Sooooooo.... Can I do an SOA in the back WITH the 4" lift leaf springs???
Also, where can I get coils that are that long for the front?
That would be like 9" of lift right?
What would need to be done with the bracketry up front??
Would this be too hard?
I was just gonna get shackles and spacers.
Please let me know.
I'm in kind of a bind. I'd like to eventually run AT LEAST 35s
OR, should I just save a ton of money and go solid?????
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,
I think you are running into my situation. I was running 4-5". I had a duff 3" on the front with spacers= 4.25" and then I had a SOA and some sacked springs in the rear with no oveload. This setup flexed awesome! Worked great. I like the setup, but when I went to 33s and a front locker, it was too much for the dana 35. So I would say if you want to run 35s, it will be tough with the Dana 35.

My advice though?

Put in the spacers. Your brackets should be enough to accomodate 1.25" more. You may need some offset ball joint cams if you don't have them (I know where you could get some! Hint!) Thats it for the front. Run some 33s and have fun.

For the rear?
Take out your 4" leaf pack, put in your stock Leaf pack and do a spring over. It can be debated, but most of the time, a highly arched Leaf pack will be stiffer and not flex as well as a flatter, softer spring. Most likely your rear end will flex better, ride better and perform better.

That is my $.02

Thanks Kirby-- I might try that!!

Although, I might eventually go solid like you!

I agree with Kirby, swapping back to the stock leaf will give much better ride on or off road.
