    Alright guys I need help.
    I've done some reading and searching and reading and searching.
    I'm looking at piecing my lift kit and am looking for input on possible issues I might run into?

    2.25 inch preloaded struts.
    2 inch spacers on top of those
    1 inch diff drop
    2 inch add a leaf
    2 inch shackles
    For a total of 4.25 inches of lift in the front and 4 inches in the rear.

    I don't think you will even be able to get the coilover installed...besides you will probably have alignment issues.

    Are you 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive ?

    There are spindle lifts out there that you can use if you are 2 wheel drive..

    For the amount of lift your wanting to achieve, You are gonna need aftermarket uca's.

    If you're shooting for ~4.5" of lift, the safest way to do that is with a drop bracket. Stacking those thick spacers on top of that much coilover preload is just asking for damage. The lower stem of the coilover will snap in half once you do any mild offroading.

    Damage from even bouncing on the road too! It doesn't take much when you stack anything like that. Some things you don't want to cheap out on

    The rear is fine.... plus you can go 4 up front and 2 in the rear and still have more height in the rear vs the front

    I think 3”, maybe 3.5” is the highest ur gonna get up front without a drop-bracket lift. 3.5” is gonna wreck ur cv’s and probably wont align correctly without upper control arms. I had a 3” leveling kit for a while and it rode like stock, it was a top hat spacer, not a preload. Preloads suck.
