Just read a thread where a guy said he installed 2" suspension lift AND coil spacers and used 3degree shims to align front end.

If this is possible, this is the way I want to go.

Right now, I have 2" body lift. I want to run 33x12.50x15 on 15x8, 3.75" backspacing rims I have.

I was originally considering the Superlift 5.5" lift, but then I'd be at a total 7.5" of lift for 33" tires which kinda sounds like overkill and higher center of gravity.

Also, instead of $799 for the 5.5 kit, I could spend $200 for the 2" Skyjacker, $100 for coil spacers and shackles and buy the Powertrax I want and have money left over.

Any thoughts here to help me out?

Thanks
 






You can fit the 33s with only 4" of lift. That way you won't need the spacers as well as the Skyjacker springs. Not all trucks are the same either. There is a chance that you won't be able to align the front with springs and spacer just because someone else did. Just FYI. Good luck.

Here is a 4" lift with 33s on 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing.
