coil srings
hi,
i have been looking at lifts alot for my 85 4wd, and skyjacker has this 2 inch suspension lift with bigger front coil springs. so i was wondering if i could basically put the new springs on and it's all good or if i have to change some things, if so what?
thanks

if you only want 2 in go with ford 2 in spring spacers in the front and a set of 2 in blocks in the rear. or think im crazy get some big washers and make the spacer. it goes between the bottom of the spring and the axel. either way you go you will need a front end allignment but that would be it for 2 in of lift

that would work fine but as i was saying if you only want 2 in supension the spring spacers are alot cheaper even if you go to ford there like 15 a side fords been useing them for years for the bigger trucks that run plows and need a little lift in the front to compansate then if you want buy the add a leaves in the rear. still the only thing to remember is the front end allignment whether you use skyjacker or the ford spacers. the body lift will have no effect on the supension
