My Bilstien setup

[buddy guy]

Thanks for the link. I’m gonna order this as well. I never knew this was even an issue. Never stumbled across this when researching coil spacers.

I had those but ended up going with Tuff Truck variable rate coils instead. Just wasn't crazy about spacers I guess.

There's these

and these

I don't have experience with either of them... or maybe I do? Some people have said the Mopar lift I have uses those Icon coils in back but I haven't seen anything official saying so.

Your Mopar lift uses the SLF-140 springs made by Superlift and they're longer than the Icons. Icons make their own springs. Both have progressive rates.

Have you noticed a difference in ride quality over the spacers? I just checked tuftruck site and $200 for the pair isn’t bad and they give you a 1.5” lift.

Honestly...no but I liked the idea of the lift plus the variable rate coil load benefits at the price. And with free shipping it was an easy decision. I put in a Helliwig at the same time so that was more noticeable.

Daystar 1" spacer installed with bilstein 5100 extended shocks. Haven't spit a spring or a spacer and have maxed the suspension a few times playing off-road.

Might pick up the track bar bracket just to see if it improves the ride. I have a good wiggle when I hit rail road tracks on the way to town.

So I installed the spacers today. I also rotated my tires while I was at it. Glad I went with the 1.5”. I was debating between that and 1”. Gave it a very slight rake. Here’s some pics of the traction bar. Before and after. Doesn’t seem like it moved much.

I’ll get some pics soon with how the truck sits now.

Looks good! Can't wait to see pictures. How did the install go?

I discovered I installed my Mevotech control arms backwards lol. So when I went in for alignment, they couldn’t get caster within spec. So since I need another alignment after I swap the arms, I decided to order some Eibach pro lift front springs. The ride on Bilsteins with stock coils isn’t that bad, but I’m looking for closer to stock ride. They should be here Monday so back at it again.

Install was easy though. Should take me way less time when I do it again next week.
