CAD Brackets & 4.50/5" lift
Hello All,
I installed my RE 4.5" coils and 3.5" Leafs with 1.5" Shackles. Now the car sits about an 1 to 1.5 higher in the rear. I want to level it out. I currently have RC fixed LCA's and Rusty's UCA's. I also have RC drop brackets that I want to install.
My question is, will this combination work after I add a spacer to the coils to level out the car?

Yes, the CAD's will still work if you go up another inch in the front. its either that or if your shackles have two spring mounting holes, like RC shackles, use the inner most one.

I had the RC lift shackles, but I swapped em out to Zone grease able Boomerang Shackles.
I'm hoping the ride will be a lil better, she's my DD.

I was hoping it would work. But a guy at RC said the LCA's may be too short. I don't think he understood I have drop brackets. I like height that the car is at now.

They will work but your axle is going to be pushed forward 3/4"+. Hope you have the brake lines, shock length and steering to accommodate the extra lift.
If you dont have those covered you may want to think about bringing the rear down. Remove a leaf or no lift relocation brackets. JMO

Sorry to hijack but didn't see the need to start another thread. I currently have a 4 1/2 inch lift and am running aftermarket RE fixed lower control arms and stock uppers. Question is, with the CAD am I ok keeping this set-up or should I make a change to the upper or lower control arms? Thanks!

You will be fine, RE3700 control arms are only .25" longer than stock. The RE 3.5 and 4.5 short arm kits use the same control arms just different coils. I am running the RE sf 3.5 with fixed lowers and haven't had any problems. I did upgrade the uppers(since mine were bent) to adjustable ones, but they are set to stock length.
