Max Rear Spacer Size?

[rwalk]

When I add my 3" BL, I'm looking to add a rear spacer as well to give me some small rake since I hate squatting when I tow or haul anything.

Can I run a 2.5" spacer without having to add anything else like longer sway bar links, a larger track bar drop bracket, longer shocks, etc?

I wouldn't run anything over 1.5" to keep a semi decent ride, but I would say max would be 2" with a terrible ride.

I say throw in a 1.5" spacer and airbags, call it a day. Keep the nice ride while you can

I agree with him. ^^^^^^

I will say that I can tell my ass end is a little weak running 1.75" rear coil spacers. I really noticed the difference when I installed the Vararam. Think it's the added torque that made it noticeable. Nothing I'm all that worried about, but I may change and get the air assist, or maybe a better rear shock to fit my application.

1.5" wasnt so bad, 1.75" was more noticeable, but I never tried 2" but I could only imagine.

Travel is decreased, rear isnt properly centered, wheel isnt properly centered.

I say spend $300 and get a full rear kit. Shocks, spacers, relocation brackets

I don't think the shocks and relocation kit would work with my 6" lift

My bad, forgot you had a lift already.

If you already ordered the 2" might as well try it for a week or so. I do think you would be happier with something 1.5" or smaller.

What should I be looking for after I install it? Vibrations? Just an overall rough ride? Or something more severe like axle wrap?

I may end up getting an adjustable track bar and adjustable control arms at some point if my axle is pretty far out of center

I wouldnt say it would be anything severe, but a rough ride you will notice first. Im OCD so 2" off center from the axle would bother me when it comes to the track bar lol

Be careful about your brake lines too, parking and regular. Also check your driveshaft angles.

Might be overkill, but just things to consider.

Definitely adjustable track bar to get that rear centered.

I would need the track bar not control arms? I would think it would be an issue of forward/back not left/right?
