I would skip on the spring spacers and rear blocks for new coil springs and rear add-a-leafs or new springs. No way in hell I would ever put that in a truck. Also, I would gey a new track bar from Thuren Fabrication. Nothing wrong with the drop bracket, but your factory track bar is probably shot, so now is a time to upgrade.

i would NOT buy that kit. i would buy a kit that has coils for the front rather than putting a spacer.

Because we enjoy in doing things right on our trucks. I'll ask you this: Would you put a 5'' tall spacer on your truck?

^ Me no which is why I got the coils.

I never opened the link.

I just assumed ppl understood that there is only so much you can do with a spacer before you risk other ppls lifes.
