About 2.5" is high enough for stock A-arms. Which actually with the spacer is going to give you nearly 3" of lift. You might have to do some minor grinding to the bumpstops, etc to help with clearance. Keep in mind though that it does change your geometry, so your ball joints will wear out sooner. And also your springs will be compressed more so there is less play in them, resulting in a rougher ride. And you'll need new shocks. Any higher than three inches will need a new A-arm. But a 2.5" looks pretty decent if you get more backspacing rims and 33's

Doetsch tech's customer relations department sucks. They failed to mention how much backspacing I would need for my wheels to fit. Just watch for thing like that. I'm running the 3 inch spindles from them keep in mind.

im inclined to believe 97r, about doetsch..its been like 3 days still no return calls... i have noticed, the more money you try and save the more time you waste. 97r are the products you got from doetsch any good ? if the items are quality i dont need to talk wth them much. the prices are sweet though.
