Little extra height along with Bils?

[Seth_5.7]

I currently have my Bils set to the max height, and my CV angles are perfectly flat. Is there any way I could get an extra inch of lift in the front? Like maybe a bigger spring to go in the Bils or even a small spacer to go on top of the strut?

how about a body lift?

Looking to add more in the front suspension to go along with the ride height adjustable rear suspension I'm gonna be putting together so a body lift wouldn't really work

how about a body lift?

spacers aren't really recommended. Why not just go full suspension lift?

The rear air suspension setup im doing will be pretty close to 2 big ones, so a full front lift isn't really gonna fit the budget, that's why I'm just looking to squeeze an extra inch out of the front

spacers aren't really recommended. Why not just go full suspension lift?

@ScottCantrelle added a spacer on top, talk to him

I’ve got a 2” spacer on tops of mine set to 2.8. The cv angles aren’t too bad in my opinion, the thing I’d mostly be worried about is the angle of the upper ball joint. It’s pretty steep, but I’ve had mine like this for over 6 months with no popping or breaking. Everything I read said not to do it, so that’s something to take into consideration as well.

That actually looks really good! Could you possibly take a pic of the upper control arm ball joint? And also what brand/kind of spacer is it that you have?

That’s the angle that’s going to be the problem, if any. Also, just did a quick measurement and the front is 1” higher than the rear like this. I don’t know the brand of the spacer, probably just some generic eBay one. It was on the truck when I was installing the bilsteins. Figured just to leave it there and get some extra lift.

Ah, so does the spacer itself measure 2 inches thick or is it a certain size that equals 2 inches of lift

It just literally measures 2” tall. Not sure how much lift it’s supposed to provide.

Okay, thanks for the info! Definitely helped. Looks like I'll get a spacer and some zone upper control arms to help with the sketchy angle
