Ok, so I currenly have this jacked up pieced together lift that just plain sucks, consisting of skycrapper and crap country and various other stuff sitting between 4-5 inches. The front is too stiff, the rear is too soft, just doesnt work...
So, what I have done is purchase 4.5" RE coils and leafs, ordering an adjustable RE trackbar today, gotta rock some skycrapper shocks for right now, but am gonna get the RE shocks within the next month or two,,,,I do have an SYE...Oh and I have some Rusty's "bent" or "ergonomic"(ha) lower control arms designed for their 4.5" lift.....
here is my question, I told you the setup I will be running. Right now i am rolling with a stock front bumper, I am finishing up the new front bumper that will house a 8000 winch. With the control arms listed, should I go ahead an throw in a 1" spacer up front to compensate for that bumper and winch that will be on there sometime next month? My ONLY concern is that adding that 1" spacer will reduce my angle of the control arm, effectively loosing some articulation under full droop.
What do you think? do it or not. It will be easier doing it now, than later...when the rear springs settle, I would like to get some Boomerang shackle. Please let me know what you think, and also address my concern about loosing articulation.
Thanks, Derek
