2" Lift Springs on 265/75/16's not quite 33's.


No Camber kit, alignment is spot on perfect. Just ProComp ES 3000 shocks.

The other day when I read you had gotten some coil spacers for your truck I thought I was going crazy. My 03 doesnt even have coil springs!?!? I have shocks on the A frame and torsion bars.... which is why I thought they didnt make coil spacers for these trucks. Am I in the wrong forum? lol.

do you think that half inch really makes that big of a difference? I would like to get the 2.5 inch in the front and 2 inch blocks in the back but for an extra 60 or 70 dollars for the camber kit the half inch doesnt really seem worth it.

In all reality that was about 2.5" of lift. I have a V6 and got 2" V8 lift springs. Secondly if you have a good mechanic you DONT need a camber kit. I have an entire re-built front end. When I do it, I do it right.
