Alternative to spacers on a 2WD?

RAM_Designs · Nov 1, 2015

I know the general consensus on spacers, and was curious if there is an option for the 2WD trucks to get a 1.5-2" lift up front without messing up the suspension geometry? I assume a spindle with that amount of lift would be the only way, correct?

I already sent Sean a message, just asking the forum in the mean time.

I thought the bad spacer crap was on 4x4s only?

I don't want to change the geometry of my front suspension either way, and have stuff wear out earlier than is should. I was sort of hoping that someone made a 2" spindle lift, but doesn't look like it.

I talked to a guy in San Antonio in regards to your very question and I was told to stay away for spacers as they have had a problem with the spacers popping out of the coil. They recommended going with a CST 4 inch lift spindles. They are more expensive then the spacers but they sound like that are a lot safer in the long run.

Yeah I'm definitely not doing spacers, was just interested in spindle lifts that did the same without it being a larger lift (so like a "spindle level" haha). I've been talking to Sean at MaxTrac and he's been a lot of help as well. I think the shortest spindle lift for my truck is a 3", but I'd need a 1.5-2" rear spacer in that case, and I'd rather do the MaxTrac 4.5"/3" kit in that case.

Let me know how that works out for you. Just installed 305/70/17 terra grappler G2s on mine...no rubbing at all but looking to lift it as well.
