So I have to replace the front axle, while I'm under there I might as well add some more lift. I'm going with a 2.5'' coil spring spacer, drop track bar bracket, drop pit-man arm, and some other things. All in all it should be at a total of 5.5'' of lift in the front, however what would I need to level the rear with the front? I think a 4'' AAL should make it level, but I'm not sure. What else do I need? I already have longer control arms as they came with my skyjacker 3'' kit, and I don't need sway-bar drop brackets as I don't run one anyway. I'm getting all this stuff from top gun customz with some RC shocks. I'm doing all this at once so it is going to take some time, just getting ready for some 4.56's and some 35's.
are you getting 3/4 ton coils? or 1 ton coils? for front
and rear, the AAL should do the trick since the rear is like 2 inches or so higher than the front.
I have skyjacker 3'' lift coils now, and new shocks are a must. With the lift on now the control arms are almost level with the ground and the skyjacker kit came with lower and upper control arms but I just never got around to putting the new uppers on. Are new control arms needed? from research all I can find is that it will ride rough and that don't brother me.
I know many who have... He would be stacking a 4 inch block on top of his factory block. I run 42's with stock axles and haven't had any problems. That doesn't mean it's not dumb.
