Why stop at five inches? Go big, like twelve inch spacers and four inches of lift with new springs!

I believe he's talking about machining them out of solid stock and wants physical OD & ID dimensions. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell him because he's headed for disaster.

You have to go with extended springs, shocks, control arms, track bar, and might even have to drop the transfer case. And you'll need longer brake hoses and swaybar links.

Anything I left out, guys? Maybe longer driveshafts?

Edit; His signature says he has a 6" lift already!
