Who sells a 3 1/2in coil spacer and why would you only go slightly larger in tire size when u have the ability to go larger, even with a smaller level such as 2 1/2?

If its a 4wd truck the that spacer will be a bitch on you. I have a 2in and it puts you're half shafts at a horrible angle for the 4wd that's the main reason for a drop bracket to keep the articulation correct and not put it in a bind.

3.5 spacer is not a good idea , you will create more problems such as ball joint premature wear, steering vibrations when over 60 mph and such and such.
