are coil spacers and leveling kits different?

Im tryin to figure out how to get a lift on a budget, if they are different, i was gonna say a 3" aal in the back and then 3" coil spacers up front also with 2" leveling kit.

someone please help a brother out, i am lookin for like 3" overall, though i wouldnt complain about 5" either but then you would have to get a longer pitman wouldnt you?

Im wanting an easy 3" at least, but dont wanna do a body lift. Thanks for the help guys.

 

They are the same thing. I don't believe you can do both a once. And somebody will correct me but 3" and over would require new control arms and such...

 

spacers and leveling kits are the same thing.... your best bet for cheap is just get 2" spacers up front ...that will " level your truck" aal in the back will give you a factory rake. ( where the front sits lower than the front)

 

end beat me to it...but yes i think even you 4x4 guys need a longer control arm after 3"

 

well alrighty then, thats what i thought, i was like they look so much alike....
well i dont really like the rake it has, so i guess ill just level it. i could always do a aal later if i wanted too. Thanks guys.

 

I have a 3" coil spacer up front and 2" lift in the rear. The only thing I had to add was longer shocks. I did NOT do anything else to the front suspension. I've had this lift on my truck for the last two years without any problems. You can fit 33x12.50 tires without any rubbing in most cases

 

really now? well i love how ur truck is sittin in your pics, i have 33s and im pushin it as far as rubbin goes. so you did 3" coil and 2" aal in the rear? I just added new rancho rs5000s so i am good as far as the longer shock travel goes. Please let me know, and also know where and how much u got your stuff for please.

 

I have a ProComp AAL that gave me about 2" of lift from SummitRacing.com for about $35-$40. Stock U-bolts worked too.

 

yea i only have like a half inch patruding already on the u-bolts, so i would have to get longer ones.

 

It's typically not advised to reuse u-bolts, even if they are long enough.
