Default Re: Front lift 2WD

Coil Spacers are a cheap fix NOW. But after they fucking destroy all your front end components (upper ball joints, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, new shocks, etc) you will need to replace all of that, remove the spacers, and then go buy spindles anyway. Don't make the same mistake I did. Just get the spindles to start with, you will save money and a MAJOR headache.

I had a goofy looking lift going on too and thought spacers would be a great temporary CHEAP fix until I got money to do spindles. Wrong idea
