Default Tried search.. Another quick lift/spacer

I tried to search for the answer i was looking for with no luck. My question is I know with a spacer you mess with the angles of everything but does a quick lift strut do the same? Or is it that much better on your UCA and angles of everything.

Thanks

does the same. BUT you are ok unless you go past the 2.5 inch point. lifting or levelling up past 2.5 inches puts too much of a strain on the steering parts.

Ok thank you, I currently have a 1.5" spacer but I need at least 2" cause my 35" are rubbing a little

Our Adjustable Coilovers give 0-3" of Lift. Lots of 09-Current guys with them, and more and more 04-08 guys running them and report back that they love the ride.

It is exactly the same thing. The upward lift from any "level" comes from pushing the lower control arm downwards, which in turn angles everything else as well. You may get more suspension travel upwards with aftermarket coilovers because they have longer springs instead of just a spacer, but spacers are a much cheaper option. I have an HBS 2.5" level and have no complaints. I will eventually be installing uniball upper control arms, probably after tax returns.
