Coil spacer or body lift on top of my RC 3" lift ?

Smokeater · 05-04-2001, 08:29 PM

Just installed a Rc 3"lift and want another 1" to fit 33's. What should I go with spacer or body lift? Thanks,

I would go with the body lift it will keep your center of gravity lower.

go with adjustable coil spacers, so later on down the road if you sag or put a winch or weight is added you can correct it with changin the coil spacing

I have the RE 3.5 Lift as well and there is plenty of room for 33's plus a lot to flex with. If the only reason you want to lift it is to clear 33's you should be fine.

I've posted this picture before, but as you can see i have plenty of lift with the RE 3.5 kit:

you dont really have too much room there to flex, at full flex it has to be a def, rub

I have been thinking of the same thing, I have the RE 3.5 and I do rub with 33X12.50 tires at full flex. But I want to move up to the 35X12.50 tires, so I want to do a body lift or spacer kit. Not sure what is better, but the adjustable spacers sound great for up front.

If you go with spacers, you could get vibes too......I'd go with the BL.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I think he is talking about a rough country lift, and not RE 3.5.
