Hey guys I got a favor to ask, I just got done putting my used lift and tires on and I know I need alittle more on the front but my question is how much to make it level. I purchased a used 3" skyjacker lift, when I called to find out what the height of the springs are brand new I was told that they come 21" and 20.5" and mine were 19" and 18.5" so the springs have sagged. So the front is still raked and I rub at full lock with my new 35's. I measured from the top of the tire to the fender and I am getting 21" in the back and 19" in the front. Do you think I need a 2" spacer to level it or will that be too much? Could anyone take some quick measurements for me to see if you are some what close to that or if your front and rear fenders are the same size opening.


Oh and here are some pics. I really like the rims and tire combo. The tires are Procomp Xtreme Muds and are not to bad, alittle howl but nothing to bad.

 

I would think a 3" spacer.

 

Well thats the thing, I found 1', 1.5", 2", and a 3" spacer but I dont want the front to be raised and have that nose up look. The roof and the nurf bars look to be able level with the ground in the pic but I dont know.

 

16x10 wheels?

 

yes 16x10" pro comp 8089's 4.5" backspacing

 

Well get 1.5 than.

 

It looks to sit about level now. I'd say probably the 1.5" as well.
But even with that, with 35s, you'll probably still rub on the front wheel well. You'll still need to make some adjustments.

 

Well than he will have to trim or live with it.

 

If the lift kit didn't use new control arms and dropped pitman arm/trackbar than I would suggest not getting anything higher than a 1.5" spacer. Anything more than that is too much lift on stock components.

 

It came with lower control arms but not a drop pitman arm or trackbar brackets. Then again it was used, the guy i bought it from took it off to run a 5" so he might have kept them but doubt it. I think the 1.5" spacer will just take it back to as if the springs were not sagged.

Could any of you take a measurement from the top of your tires to the fender. Its not the number that concerns me, its wither or not its the same or or the difference in between the two.

Thanks for the help.
