The ride was okay. A little stiffer, but not bad for me. It was 4in total tho. You will need the 2in body lift as well.

So 2 coil spacers on each side of the truck (top and bottom) will give you 4 inches of lift???

no, it will only give you 2 inches of lift, you have to combine it with the 2 inch body lift to achieve 4 inches

Alright thanks. Does anyone have a link to a 2 or more inch body lift kit? I tried the ones in the FAQ but I think they didn't work.

It may give you an extra in or so. Its worth a try. But It will be tuffer to get it all in.
