2wd lift question
I did a search it didn't return anything about my question I want to know if I can install a 3inch body 2.5 lift coil and a2.5 coil spacer with rear blocks and ad-a-leaf for roughly 8-9 inches on a 2wd this is under 500 bucks cause I have a few friends selling me most of the parts

You can do one or the other lift coils or spacers not both. And you could also do a 3inch spindle lift.

Ok I think I'll do a 3 inch body and the coils with blocks and see if I like that first then if not I'll worry about goin bigger but I'm not sure that I can fit 35s with that lift and the tires are free so I would really like to get em under it

running the fabtech arms on the factory arms? like a dual upper control arm super trophy truck??
jk im pretty sure you mean spindles. trust me, spindles are worth waiting for. member jgiddy has fabtech lift coils, fabtech upper arms, and a 3 in body lift. hes swapping to spindles because the control arm still hits the frame at droop and the ride is horrible..

Have you seen the fabtech 5.5 lift system I'm basically doing that without spindles right now I am buying what I don't have out of the system separately ye lift coils and the arms with ball joints and I have everything else instead of the spindles I'm getting a body lift

Re: 2wd lift question
yes i know. what you are doing is the fabtech 2.5 setup.. which im telling you will be really rough. take the 200 youre spending on a BL and keep saving for the spindles. well worth it.. Body lifts suck, had one, got rid of it. or better yet go for a BL.. buy mine

If you wanna run the 35's spindles and a body lift should let you clear them. Then if you want the Ride to be shit get the 2.5 fab tech kit.
