Default Coil spacers

Hey everyone. I'm looking at getting some 2 inch coil spacers to level my front end out and keep my tires from scrubbing the bumper and fender so bad. I already have a 6 inch rough country lift but it's sagged a whole bunch since I put it on. Was wondering what kind of spacers I should go with or what y'all think.

Mlinersy 2 cents, trim the bumper and fender a little, this picture shows what i mean, the bumper is whacked i lot more than needed but it s not my truck,



I folded the corners in on the rear of my fenders, and pulled the liners back a bunch, no rub. Back when i had stock springs an 33s i used a molded rubber spring insert which gave about 3/4" lift and killed some uptravel , i zip tied them in so they wouldn t fall out.
The daystar spacers i have now will get you about 2 inches.

It's probably cheaper to just replace the coil springs.

I have heard that the stock superduty springs from newer f2/350s will give you the 6 inches you want

Ok....he has a 6" lift but the coils have settled and he's looking for extra lift. So he wants to add a 2" spacer to go higher then the 6" he already has.

Can't you guys read?!...lol

Oh and jared424 there's lots on eBay. And daystar makes good stuff.
