New to the forum guys have read a few posts and I have a question would it be better to replace my front coils with 2500 coils or put a spacer in to achieve a leveled out .

I ask this because I have read the coil spacers will make the front axle shift I do not believe who 2500 front coils would do that would they ?

 

get 2500 coils because a used pair is the same price as a pair of spacers

 

Ok thank you

 

The axle shifts due to the lift. It doesn't matter whether it's from coils or spacers. I had 2" HellBent spacers with zero issues. Also had a plow on it.

The coils will give a stiffer ride than spacers. Normally due to the fact that when swapping coils for 2500/3500 coils, they're from either a v10 or diesel, which are heavier than the gas v8's. Therefore there is a higher spring rate.

 

The rougher the ride the better your truck is

 

We'll my 1500 sits lower than ones I've seen and I'm sick of it.
Also does anyone have any pics of just a coil swap? Will an add a leaf be nessasary for the rear? Or would the balance be about even?

I've done this to some jeep gc I've had but I had coils for the rear so I can't compare.

I may have to get adj control arms if the axle pushes back much further.

 

Just doing 3/4 ton springs from a diesel/v-10 truck will give you between 2 and 3 inches. Depending on how worn your current springs are..... you may or may not need to raise the rear.

 

Thank you that's what I needed to know

 

One last question on doing this I assume I'll need longer shocks for the front, which length option is best ?

 

Nope. Stock length shocks will work fine.
