2" strut spacers?  My angles are pretty scary untill i get the drop brakets?

2 1/8 coil spacers should net you nearly 3" at the wheel so I would say a 2" spacer and flip the mounts or make 3" spacers and don't go over a speed bump on an angle till you drop the diff ;D

2" is OK, anymore than that and the bumpstops aren't going to work. The CV angles could be too much as well. I would leave it at that and not do the strut flip.

i lifted it up to a 3" space at the top of the strut and the cv's barely turn when straight and don't turn then wheel is at full lock.

with a 2" space the cv's move freely straight and are a little harder to turn at full lock but still turnable with one hand without clunking.

so the 2" spacer will be fine.  If my cv angles change alot when i put in the diff lowering brakets maybe i will flip the strut mount
