2wd suspension
ok ok ok .... I know it is 2wd. I want to replace the rear leafs and front springs. They are 450k miles old and they need help lol. Now I do have a 4wd donor I could swap in but they issue there is it is a 2000 truck. I would want a 07/08 year. So back to the issue at hand. IS there a way to add like 3in with a spring upfront and a leaf outback or am I stuck to a spacer in the front? I am not a big fan of spacers personally.

I have a 2 WD, 6.8. I thought about a lift up front, but said screw it. It was a blessing in disguise. I rarely take
the Ex off road and when I do, the TrueTrac LS has never failed me.
I talked my suspension needs over with Junior at ATS, so I have no original ideas of my own.
I went with OEM Z codes up front with 2 WD Bilstein 4600s. I went with ATS B code springs out back with RAS, Airlift air bags and 4 WD Bilstein 4600s.
I got a 1-1/2 inch lift in front and 3 inch lift out back. The 4 WD shocks are an inch longer than the specified 2 WD shocks and fit the exact same way.
Hellwig sway bars on both ends.
Since we are towing, I’m glad I did
not go with a lift.
