Can the springs on my coil overs change ride height?

buy stock takeoffs and bring the truck back to normal, then start fresh. Not that hard. you got a mess of stuff there.

 

Do you have pics of the braket lift where they cut cross member?

 

What dealership was this?? Put them MFs on blast!

 

I bought it used from Silsbee Ford and they had it as a trade-in. The guy that owned it before said he bought it off the Toyota showroom with that lift, not sure which Toyota dealership though. I worked at Toyota in college and the highest lift they would put on a brand new truck was 3" so it would stay within warranty specs.

 

Thanks for all the help today guys. Stopped by a custom off-road outfitters near my place and told me I had 2 options. A) use the factory spring that we had taken off and throw in a Bilstein shock that can be cranked up an inch or B) take out the spacers and throw in some Fox 2.5 4.5inch coilovers. I went with the Fox option and will be getting them installed next Wednesday. It hurt the wallet but not as bad as I was thinking.

 

Glad it worked out for you and isn't going to cost a whole lot.
Otherwise it looks like you have a nice truck there. Once you get the suspension sorted out your truck will ride better and you'll be happier in the long run and can move on to other mods/upgrades/improvements.

 

You are going to see a significant improvement. However, due to the poor job that has been done up front, you should get a good look at the rest of the truck. Make sure your brake lines aren't getting stressed, driveshaft angles are not bad, etc.

 

Post some pics when you get it finished

 

Update: Huge bummer this morning when the guy called and said it was going to be 8-10 weeks before the parts come in.

 

improvement in the ride comfort of the truck? Do coilover lifts really make THAT much of a difference over spacers?

 

Unfortunately, I think the fun and games is just getting started with supply chain issues. There is a reason car dealerships are trying like hell to buy up inventory.

 

Yes, especially good ones.

 

Checkout this site for some coilovers to replace your spacers: https://boss-offroad.com/c-1389352-spacer-delete.html

 

You can try to call Boss, won't hurt, ask for Anthony, very helpful guy there.

 

The shop I'm having doing the work is going to go ahead and order the Fox coilovers for me, Unless you think that Boss will be able to get them to me quicker. All said in done its going to be $2800. Which $1900 of that is the coils.

 

Just got off the phone with the shop, shocks are still back ordered and they’re hoping to have them ship to me at the end of August.
