One Inch Lift for 4X2 Front End
I want to raise the front end of my 06 4X2 about 1.5". Are there metal coil spacers avialable? If so, who carries them? Or, are the poly's OK? I have a friend telling me they may wear out.
Thanks
David

Hi and welcome to DTR. There are several leveling kits for the 2wd. I'm running the Daystar 1.5 inch, but personally, I wish I would have gone with a 2 in. Heres a pic and you can see for yourself what the 1.5 inch looks like:

Im at the station today too! I had a local shop install it for me so I can't say on that, but as far as the ride, I can't tell any difference and yes, you will need to get the front end aligned.

Personally I would go with the 1.5" if you tow heavy. Don't want to look like a Ford going down the road!!

txfiremedic, got any better after pics from the side view after the leveling and 285s (which was my guess on your tire size)?

1 and 1/2 or 2 inch lift
I have a 4x2 and would like to level the truck. I was thinking if it is possible to change the front end springs to raise the front end. Does anybody know what lenght the stock springs are? Does anybody know what length the spirings would have to be? Thanks guys for all of the help.
