ok I have been reading on here for 3 days and cant make up my mind! I have a 2010 1500 big horn 4x4 and my front end sits 3 inches lower than the rear it drives me nut so I found on ebay 3.5 inch front coil spacers is that going to be too much of a spacer ? anybody else running this? should I expect problems with the 3.5 or should I go with a 3 inch ?

I have never even seen anything over a 2.5". I do hear the pro comp adj struts give you approx. 3" of lift a little over Bilsteins from what I have read. I had a 2" on my 13 4x4 and everything was good. I have heard good and bad about even the 2.5" spacers. One company that sold them recommended that I stay with a 2" If you want max lift I would try the adj struts and stay away from a spacer that big. I wouldn't even want a 3"or 3.5" on my 2wd

3.5" spacer is just asking for problems, same with a 3".. Your CV's would be on a really gross angle! I wouldnt recommend anything more then a 2" spacer. If youre a 4wd Id recommend something like the bilstein 5100 adjustable or rancho QLL's.

2.5" is pretty much the max you can go without problems. even then some people have slight vibrations in 4x4.

A 3.5 inch spacer is just insane!
