Olyelr thanks alot that is exactly what I need to know. I am going to go with the 1.5" spacer in the front which should do me good.
dsertdog56 I dont think you are understanding what my situation is. My springs have sagged so they are not a 3" lift spring anymore more like 1.5" lift springs so I am trying to get them back to the true 3" lift point. I understand scrubsteer and what I have is not that by no means. I am also no where near the 5" lift point even with a 2" spacer. I am just barely rubbing the back corner and that is not really the issue I am worried about I could live with that little bit of rubbing. I thought about a body lift but I really dont like them. I had some bad experinces with them with my Jeep. That and the only size you can get for our trucks is 3" and that is way way to big for me. That makes the bolts way to long and for me I would not trust them with the body roll. But thanks for the help no the less.
Thanks

Honestly...I wouldn't waste my money on a spacer with sagging springs. Chances are pretty good if your springs are losing thier tension, they'll continue to do so and the left side will always be worse. At my age I understand sagging better than anyone
. For the price of the spacers, I'd apply that to some new springs.I am impressed you got 35s under a 1,5 inch lift. I know that would've not worked on my truck even with stock springs and a 2 inch front spacer.
I hope you'll post up with information on what solved your problem
