I bought the moog coil spring and i was wondering if I should get the daystar spacers as well. I dont want it higher in the fron than the back? Anyone have pics with or without?

I used the coil spacers and the longer shocks. Works great!

Just get the front end lined up on a 4 wheel alignment machine after you are done.

I just put on 7226S springs on my truck without any spacers, and it raised the front WAY up. It sits level with the back now, very happy with them. I would say if you want it level, just do the springs.

I left the stock springs and bought the spacers and shocks from the part #'s listed in the sticky. Just type the part # into google and tons of places show up to buy them.


From Ouchman's post, here are the #'s

Daystar spacers #KG09101BK- stock springs - shocks #FTS-9119

I just bought the 7226 I wonder what the difference is compared to the 7226s?

S on the end stands for severe duty. I think they are just a little stiffer. I got them in hopes they will not sag under the weight of the cummins. I imagine they will wear out and sag some day, but a long time from now I hope. I am very impressed with the ride. They feel stiff, but on the same bumps these springs move more than the stock springs. Not sure how that works, but its MUCH better than before.

When I installed the 7226s springs on my truck it raised the front so much that I had to add 1 1/2 inch blocks in the back to level it out and it too about 3 or 4 years before the front end started to drop again. This time I'll just add the 2 inch spacers.
