Hey guys,
had a quick question for everyone.

I used to run a 1.5" level on the front of my 2010 fx4 SCAB, however i have had the 6inch BDS for almost a full year now, and i still own the 1.5" spacer.

I am looking to add some height to the truck to eventually throw on 37s and regear.

My question is do I buy 2" Fat Bob AAL and a 2" spacer from there too? Or do I not waste money and throw on the 1.5" spacer I have and find a 1.5" AAL to match in order to comfortably fit 37s later?

EDIT: also an option ive toyed around with is the bilstein 5100s

Ive heard that AALs settle over time so I thought maybe the 2" AAL wouldnt be a terrible idea.

Thanks guys, sorry if this is slightly confusing, Im confused myself. haha

You looking to do off reading or is it a pavement queen? If you add the spacer on top of the lift you're going to have no suspension travel.

I take it off road a lot more than normal folk. I do a lot of mud and some semi-technical trails, i.e. Georgia clay and then Rausch Creek off road park.

Do you think buying the 6inch bilstein 5100s would be a better bet? I just dont know where to order the correct ones from.

Thanks man

EDIT: This stuff

and then this kinda stuff
where im tucking with the rear

Here's what I would do. Get some fiberglass fenders and slap on your 37s. Keep all your suspension travel and have no rubs.

Haha thanks, ill take your advice man

Fiberwerx makes some nice stuff. I plan on getting their fenders and running 35

The bilsteins will work at 1.5 but I'd be skeptical of the angles. Would .75" be an option. Honestly for what you're looking at doing/using your truck for a nice set of custom length coilovers would probably be your best route. Pricey yes, but I thin it would provide what you're looking for.

sethysan

one2nine, what options do you think i'd have as far as coilovers?
As in, since i have the BDS lift, i wouldnt be able to just order KING/ICON OEM replacement coils...I know I could order some from BDS, but just seeing what other options I'd have (custom order, etc)

TheWhiteBeast

King/icon/fox make custom lengths that will fit your lift. But...fiber fenders are 350 a piece and you will instantly be able to put on 37s. Just have to get them painted.

for that type of offroading i would keep the front end angles as flat as possible IMO. Why the need for 37's? Just because? May want to look into a regear if you havent done so already to help clean em out when in the slop
