It sat perfectly level with the 1.5'' spacer, 3.5'' spindles and 3'' rear blocks. Here's a shot of that set up. Thats why I say you might want to just try the 2'' blocks first with just the spindles.

Thats a clean truck right there. I remember it from another forum a few years back.

ima see if I can revive this thread alittle, Im getting closer to buying my lift kit and sinc then, RCX has changed there lift to 3", no biggie, but when I get to replacing the spindles, can I leave the shocks in there while I do it or will there be too much pressure from the coil springs? I kinda hope I can so I don't go through the problem of reinstalling coil springs lol.

Thank you! I loved that truck, but love the one I have now too. If it ever comes up for sale and I have the money to buy it back, shes coming back home. haha

Curious what you mean by stabilizer bar as well? Do you mean steering stabilizer?
