Default Lift coils and spacers?

Hello,

I've spent the better part of the evening researching this and haven't found anyone using this setup so I figured I would ask you all!

I have a 2007 Ram 1500 2wd and I would like to add 5 inch of lift without lifting body.

CST Suspension has quoted me 220$ for lift coils which is just a coil spring that is longer than stock. Could I use these lift coils WITH a daystar 1.5" coil spacer? I have already found the correct pro comp shocks for up to 5" lift.

Spindles are out of my price range at the moment.

Thanks

How are spindles out of your price range? They're almost the same cost as the coil springs.

Please see this thread. I have multiple other posts on this site dealing with the same issue as well. Bottom line: Spindles + either coil spacers OR longer coils.

Thanks for that explanation it really clears things up.

Looks like I'll go with just the extended coils and save up for the spindles...I intend to use 4" spindles which is why I had said they were more expensive.
