I have a three inch lift on my 2000. Or what i would like to call 3" rear and rustys custom 2.25" front. Yeah the 3" have sagged .75!! Just wondering the best way to level it back out w/o springs. For a spacer what size? 1" or would it have to be 1.5" w removal of stock isolator? I just wanna fix it cheap so i can still play at the dunes....im ordering a new lift in a few weeks so. Any help would be sweet.

I have the same lift (full leaf packs). I got a lot of lift from the rear. While my springs have sagged a bit in front (expected) I'm not at all unhappy about them (other than I want taller now). Because I netted so much lift in the back, I did install .75 spacers up front and left the stock isolators in. It helped but the back end still sits a bit taller. I've had it on there for about 2 years now.

my cRustys started saggin and had them rebuilt locally by Deaver. I was thinking about just slappin a 1 inch block under them but the bushings were hosed anyway.

Blade I think Oops is talking about his coils sagging so there's not much to do but go spacers.
Ya know...after thinking about your situation...I'm sure that my coils have sagged a bit as well. I could probably go with a 1.75 spacer in there and even things out nicely. Currently I think I'm about as tall as I can go with the stock control arms and track bar though. I think if you go with spacers, you better factor that in to your decision. It's a tough call though...when my rig is full of camping gear and has a full tank...it sits even but right now with it low on gas it's a bit raked.
