Re: Coil spring spacer
It rides like total shit on SLA trucks. Just get spindles and be done with it.

Re: Coil spring spacer
SLA = Short long arm , suspension. Aka 98+ suspension.
Actually on I-beam suspension the ride doesn't change it's the characteristic of the suspension. But that's. 1997 down.

Re: Coil spring spacer
Just spindles you will be higher in he front then the rear. If that's what you want sure. The spindles are a 3" lift. The blocks stock 4x4 rear blocks are only 2". Pretty much the truck will be level. You can usually snag the blocks and ubolts out of a junk yard for $20. Spindles are what $250.

Re: Coil spring spacer
Think they stopped selling the ebay ones. I haven't looked in forever. Even if it was more like $400 or $500 now, I would rather do it right. My suspension sucks now
