Default Leveling Spacers

I currently have the leveling spacers on the front of my 07 2WD F150.
I have just ordered new Rancho 9000 shocks for rear and the Rancho RS999909 Quick Lift Loaded Strut for the front (1.5' lift).

Question is can I run the Leveling Spacer along with Quick Lift loaded Strut

That would depend on your spacer.... I'm running the same setup, but i have the Daystar 1 inch spacer.

Just keep your total lift under 3 inches

Awe...failed to mention that in your post...i assumed it was a 4X4 due to the fact that you were going with coil overs...i really don't know if you will be able to get the 1.5 coil over with the HBS 3 inch spacer bolted to the top back in the truck...

not to mention you'll be on the droop stops before even coming close to achieving 4.5" of lift with stock suspension

Default Thank you

Thank you for all the Info. I will install the SHocks without spacers and see where I am, According to Rancho I wont need any spacers, that these shocks will remove the factory rake themselves. We shall see. I will repost the results

Give the Rancho's about 2 weeks and see what you get after the springs settle.
