heres a pic of my truck right now, im thinking about adding a small spacer like a 1'' or 1 1/2'' spacer on top of my 3'' cst coil springs im wondering if this will cause any problems? it rides good and everythings great right now but the rear is up a few more inches than the front and i really want it level what should i do??

Hell bent steel sells some anti sway bar drop brackets and longer end links. That should lessen your sway bar angle enough to add another inch.

Very nice truck. Its usually not a good idea to put a lift on top of another lift. That lift was designed to keep your suspension and steering components within range of each other. Adding more lift will mess with that and could end up with some really bad results.

Thanks for the comments, the truck is riding pretty good dont really want to mess that up but really want another inch up front because it seems like the front settled more than I planned, I'll check out hell bent steel also

BTW, what size tires are you running with that lift, and did you re-gear?

Ideally you want the front to sit a little lower than the rear to compensate for when there is weight in the bed so your nose isnt pointing to the sky

Assuming you have a 4x2 if you used coil springs? How did you get 3" coil springs to work without whacking the **** out of your UCA when you hit bumps? Any more than 3" lift between control arms, and your UCA will be lodged firmly against your upper coil bucket.
