Were your spacers steel or plastic ?
Did you install them on the top or the bottom of the rear coil ?
Thank you Sir for a response .



Spacers are poly. Put them on the bottom they wont go on the top steel ones will but these wont.
You sir are welcome

Ok so I have been reading this forum now for about a week and I think after reading this thread I have finally narrowed it down to the Bills for the front with Mevo UCA and I want to bring the back up as well
would a progressive rear spring be better than a spacer set up for ride quality
I'm going to get a set of Bils for the back as well to replace the factory shocks

I saw a link to the Mevo and the front Bils but cant seam to find it again and does anyone have any suggestions for a longer progressive spring to add some ride height (1.75ish) with an appropriate shock for the rear
I'm thinking of run the fronts at 2.8 and going with a 34" on stock rims
Found the Bil part numbers F:24-187367 R: 24-187374 (if these are appropriate for the added rear lift)
Is there a particular vendor we are all using for these items as I wish to send my business to the forum supporters
Thank you
Wayne

I believe tuftruck makes a set of springs that increase load capacity and will raise it up about 1 1/2 or so. I've read a few good reviews about them, may be a little stiffer though...
As far as vendors ,myself and I'm sure MANY others have gone to Moe's performance. Matt is a great guy to deal with , Tons of knowledge and very helpful. Great customer service

Bilsteins at 2.1 and Airlift 1000 with 295/70/17

IMG_1864_zpsxscho7fc.jpg

IMG_1932_zpsz2lgk4zy.jpg

Unlike most, truck was too nose high for my liking. Added a 0.75 rear coil spacer.

IMG_1944_zps0259crku.jpg

Why I like having rake. Ironically this was before the 0.75 spacer, however I did have 25-30 psi in the airbags.

Also have a 1.5 inch body lift installed, no pictures yet.
