Lift questions
I have a 3 inch coil spring spacer up front with a 1 inch rear block in the rear. I want to raise my truck some more. Can I put lift coils from rough country and not have to replace any suspension parts other than the factory springs? I also plan to put more lift in the rear so it won't squat so don't worry about that lol

From what I've researched and know so far, you're already stressing your balljoints with those coil spacers. I wouldn't go any further.
Have you looked into spindle lifts? Won't change your suspension geometry and your ball joints get a break. I would mention body lifts but for some reason that seems to be a taboo subject for some on here. Don't want to get anymore flamed than I've already got.

I would do a spindle if I could afford it and a body lift looks ugly imo

And I'd rather pay for spindle lifts than new ball joints. Ever tried changing one? Ugh!
Trust me I'd do the same as you as I'm on quite a tight budget too but saving little by little yields big dividends before you know it.

Not sure what I'll use for a spacer yet. Silicon hockey pucks lol ? I don't know, but the idea is to keep factory pre-loads, stay away from the half *** body lift look. The Goal, - Get the original ride quality back or better (that will happen) while getting the desired height I like between the tires and body. 265 70 17's AT3 E's, so original size tires...Anyway, I can't figure out a cheaper way lol.
