Alright this is the perfect thread to ask this question again, and the reason I say again is because of conflicting answer's.
Is 3" or 2.5" the max lift for the front on our trucks without having to get larger control arms?
I've seen people say 3" and I've seen some say 2.5", a member here is selling some diesel coil springs and I've love to ****** them up if they won't be too much, I know it will ride stiffer, but who cares, the price sure beats a 2.5" coil spring spacer.... even with shipping...

Not so much a matter of flex, as it is position of the axle in the wheel well. The more you lift, the further the axle moves back..... after 3", you need longer arms to put the axle back where it belongs.

Yea i believe 2.5" is the biggest spacer thts safe for our trucks, on Hell Bent Steels site they dont even offer a 3" coil spacer, if they were safe they would probably be offered.
