If I bought those I would deff add a spacer. Might as well while the front end is torn apart.

thats what im thinking i just dont want to mess anything up, i think the only problem you run into would be hitting the coil bucket right? and thats not a issue once the ucas go on

Cool. I actually just removed the spacers the other week, those combined with the lifted springs made the ucas at a bad angle to where when the truck was just sitting they were only 1 cm or less away from the spring bucket. Then whenever I went over a small bump in the road they would slam on the spring bucket. But with those ucas you should be fine. I never got a reply from zone, I sent them an email last thursday but never got anything back...

Oh and not sure how it happened, but when I took the spacers out, I found that one of them was getting torn apart. Not sure if its because the lifted springs are a little thicker(cant remember if they are) or what happened

dang that sucks. you just need to get some spindles and you will be set. idk im still on the fence about the spacer. these ucas will definantly help, i couldnt even squeeze the spacer in without the ucas withought the arms sitting on the coil bucket lol

Ya, I wish I wouldve started out with the spindles instead of springs. With the way they were the ucas were too close to the bucket and it rode like **** lol. When I redid my suspension I saw that the ucas were getting dented in where they were hitting the bucket so I knew the spacers had to go...

yup and the ucas are expensive but they would have made it not hit

Here are some pics of my 03 went from a 3/5 drop on 22's to a 3.5 lift on 35's on 17's then a 5" lift on 20" pedal's with 325/60/20. Traded it in for my 07 and now thinking of lifting it.

Ya I doubt it would ride that bad but you never know. It actually wasnt too bad taking it apart this time, Ive got it down so fast now! So much easier than installing the lift

So that's only on the side there right? Not through the thick heavy part of te spacer? I doubt many people would be willing to buy them. I'm trying to decide if I am interested for when I take my loft off. (probably next summer). Run the spacers. My current wheels and a 31 inch tire. Idk.
