Default Lift advice please?

Alright so i have a set of 20x12 with -44 offset wheels and some 33/12.50 mud tires on the way to be delivered wed. I've been looking at this lift http://jdautoandtruck.com/maxtrac-su...d-k883553.html
And was wondering if i could keep my coil spacer with this lift without causing problems and clear my set up no problem.. If not any ideas? Thanks!

Btw my truck is a 97 150 2wd with the 5.4 xlt and i beleive is a 770 edition?

No. You can run either the coil spacer, or lift coils, the angles become far too much with both.

5.5" will be plenty of lift with 33/12.5.
I ran 35/12.5 on stock rims with 5.5"

What wheel offset and width did ypu have? One of the people i talked to said with that width and offset i would probly have to do a nice bit of trimming?

how's this for offset? I ran 33x12.50's on 20x12's with a 1.5" spacer with a leveling kit... I also trimmed a ton... This is 3" spacers, 20x12's and 36x15.50's... -you're 2wd so I really can't speak for what's going to rub and what's not, all I can really do is tell you my experience with 4x4

it happens sometimes, I edited to post because I accident sent it that's probably why. Even with the 20x12's and 33's you'll probably be replacing the hubs and bearings/seals in the rear fairly soon. But if stance is what you want then welcome to the stressed suspension family haha.

with the same exact setup your about to run, my front hub and both axle seals blew within 10k. How many miles are on your truck?
