Need help with Spacers
I’m looking for a lift kit spacer that measures 3-4 inches. Anyone know where I can locate something this? I currently have a 6” lift on the truck am I’m shooting for a specific height. Shank you

Before you buy anything, you should find out how many inches your diff is dropped (if it's a 4x4) by either looking it up online or measuring the bracket. You won't be able to go much more than 2" or so over the amount your diff is dropped. So if you have a 5" diff drop, max lift would be around 7", maybe 7.5". If your truck is 4x2, that's a different situation.

Can you describe a little more what you're trying to do? Are you saying you want to add a 3" spacer on top of your 6" lift to get 9" of lift? Or something entirely different?

Thanks for the replies guys. The truck has a readylift 7” kit on it. I want to lower it down to more like a 4-5” lift. I’m in the process replacing my old coilovers with Bilstein 5100 and I put the Eibach 30-35-037 lift springs on it set at the lowest perch setting which is supposed to gain you 2.7”. First I took the 6.5” readylift spacers and cut 1.5” off it, welded and painted. Installed them and it’s basically back at full lift height (via the lift springs) So rather than go through that process again to make a 3” spacer I’m trying to locate a set for under $100. Truck is 4wd with 35” tires. I’m measuring about 46.5” to my wheel wells on the front.

So just to make sure we understand, sounds like your goal is to entirely replace your current Readylift spacer (which you've cut down once already) with a brand new spacer measuring around 3". So you'll have the 3" spacer and the Eibach springs at 2.7" with the Bilstein shocks. Do I have that right?
