lift kit questions
i have a 3 inch rough country lift kit now if i wanted to go another 1.5 in and bought the rubber spacers and shackles is that possible to run after market coils and spacers?? and also would a 4.5 in lift look goofy with 31's?

You can run spacers and shackles along with your current 3" set up. You will need to invest in an adjustable track bar and new lower control arms too. 4.5" and 31's isn't bad if it's not trimmed, but 32-33's look better IMO.

Im doing the same thing im going from about 3.5 to 5. But im going with relocaters in the back and a spacer (for now) in the front. You may wanna consider the need for an SYE or a tc drop. Also your shocks on your 3 inch may limit your down travel. Also like the guy above said youll need to do something about that trac bar!

they're a little longer so the axle stays centered in the wheel well. Not getting new ones could give you something as small as a harder ride, but could be as serious as some crazy death wobble and bump steer (as was my case). x2 on possibly needing an sye or t-case drop. Once it gets the extra lift, check for any driveline vibes and go from there.

If your rear leafs are in good shape I think you'd be better buying a 3 inch aal. It'll come with new shocks.. you could go rough country or rustys and your only talking 350.

Sorry I posted in the wrong thread, you can use spacers up front and either shackles or a block (not recommended) in the back, I think 4.5 and 31s look pretty good
