I was asking where i could get coil spring spacers, I dont have coil springs, I usually dont make myself look this stupid. I guess i should have looked closer.Is there any other way to put a slight lift on my truck with out the $1600 4 in lift.

Don't feel stupid man, we all make mistakes
anyway what most people are doing is a torsion bar lift, I brought mine to Les Schwab's and they leveled the front end followed by a front end alignment for like $60 out the door, Then I put on my 33x12x50x17's on and they fit like a champ, If you would like to see the befores and the afters take a look at my picture gallery and you will see all of them there

Any questions at all let me know

Good luck man!! and let me know what you ended up doing and SHARE the pictures LOL

mine was 1.5 inches and it pretty much leveled it out, I wanted it down in the front just a tad because I pull a boat and dirt bikes around, so I didnt want it to have the squat look

hey I have a question about the keys, do you lose suspension like you do with a torsion lift, Mine is a little stiffer in the front end and do the keys do the same thing and do they ride like stock again?

according to all the literature I've read .ride stays the same I'm only concerned with front drive axle angle. may tear front cv boots. I'm looking for high angle boots I've seen them for toyotas.
