Coil spacers and superlift

As of right now my front end is sitting lower than the rear. I have 2 inch coil spacer that I can put on the truck. Should it be fine with them atop my 5 inch coils? I did it on my 1500 with no problmes what so ever. Im thinking this setup will be fine due to the fact I see guys running a 2 inch spacer on stock arms.

I don't think I would try it.....the way mine sits ( same lift as you ) I noticed if I stand on the side of the truck, my front axle isn't centered and sits back some...which can result in the good ol' death wobble!!! With a 2" spacer you'd be really pushing it back!! Not sure what superlift was thinking on that one

I thought about doing the same to mine, but I'd want to get some longer arms to put on there before I did. JMHO

When I bought the truck it had 8 inches of lift and 37s. It was the same lift but with a 3 inch spacer. The axle was a bit off center and the pushed back but nothing major. Drove fine. I might just try it to see what happens.

i've read of people doing it all the time on these off-road forums. i have a 2" spacer on top stock coils and it is fine. did those 37's rub with the 5" superlift and spacers? what size wheels are they on? post some pics and lets check this thing out.

Hmmm well I guess you can always try it and see what happens. If it was like that already, then it must have worked. Maybe mine is worse than yours, but if I were to try that on mine, my axle would be WAY of center more than it already is........

Try it out, see what happens....those spacers are easy to toss in!

I will try it and keep ya posted GotLift.

Sorry turbo dreams...no pics. It didnt rub with 37s. 8 inches od lift is pretty big for our trucks. I was going to buy longer arms when it was taller but I also needed leafs for the rear and my 37s were nearly bald. this is why I brought it down a bit.

yeah i know there is a big difference in price from 35's to 37's. but you are saying that with just the 5" superlift liftkit, your truck still sits higher in the back than in the front? i like a little more room in the back so maybe i should look into this kit. does it come with everything?

My truck was lifted when I bought it. Therefore, I have no clue if the block in the rear is superlifts. The truck sits MAYBE an ich higher in the rear. I actually want my front end to sit at least an inch taller than the rear. Sorry, its a california thing.
