lifted front end sagging.. options, opinions?

[Four0Sport]

the front and rear bumpers I have on my truck have weighed it down, alot. I'd say I lost over an inch and a half of height over the past year. my ford dealer and rockauto want too much for f-150 spacers IMO, the daystar coil spacers are ~130, can I run 6" lift springs with my 4" drop brackets? if so.. and the only problem would be camber, I'm still using stock bushings so it should be able to be corrected with adjustable bushings. thats the big question for today guys.. hope someone out there can help me out!

well, don't do the poly spacers....they won't last long.....

i took some leftover DOM from my bumper build and used a piece of 1/4" plate to make a 1 1/2" spacer for under my spring.....brought it right up...

you can also use 1 3/8" flat washers ( they have a 3" to 3 1/4" OD ) that will fit over the hex of the factory stud......

remember that with about 1 1/2" of spacer it will get you 2" of lift at the wheel and is still within adjustment for the camber....

bump for feedback..

Can I run 6" coils with 4" drop brackets? I need some heigth back BAD

 

[railman]

yes you can run 6" coils with 4" brackets....just no spacers under the coils because you will not be able to align them....
