man our suspension components look quite a bit different. your brake line is in a place where coil length doesn't matter. Mine is on the bump stop bracket, so its stretched due to the lower control arm being lower.

my shock sits farther proximal than yours. its almost touching the inside portion of the coil. and my control arm is so much wider and thicker than yours, thats why its hitting i guess. My spacer also goes down like an inch more than yours

damn this is alot of crap for a 70dollar install

I don't have a spacer. I bought longer coils instead of buying the plastic spacer. My truck rides like factory. I don't have the problems that I hear a lot of guys on here having. I'm pretty sure those spacers have something to do with it.

Yeah, I don't know about your year, but Rough Country has a pretty good lift spring. I decided to go with that after I heard some people on here talking about their spacers "settling" and they weren't 2" anymore and about the hella wobble and alignment issues. I figured I would pay a little more to have a spring instead.

yea, well I gotta figure this crap out cause its bugging me. Got an alignment today, its better than before but not great

I really just need a suspension expert to look at it. Im sure he'd just say ditch the spacers and buy spindles though

Yeah, I would bet that's what he's gonna say. It's better all around anyways, just more money a lot of us don't have you know?
