Ive been looking at different ways to bring the kick higher, just a bit, noting big just an inch would be great. But I cant seem to get enough money for all those expensive body lift and suspension componenents. So I heard about coil spacers........How do coil spacers work and how cheap are they? I already have bigger tires, far from the biggest I can go but more rrom in the fenders would be great.

I have custom 30 mm suspension lift. It is little more than 1".
Drafts of details you can find here (http://personal.prim.dsv.ru/escudo/garage/images/draft-of-components1.jpg) and here (http://personal.prim.dsv.ru/escudo/garage/images/draft-of-components2.jpg).
There is russian language comments, but I think you can understand. All is simply. I've payed about $30 to metal turner for all pieces and install it with my own hands.
Now I can install 235x75R15, but I want to put 30". For this tires I must to do body lift 50 mm.

Why are they both for the Front and none for the rear??
-
the front and rear are the same. maybe do a 2" body from rocky-road and there u go.
-
Cheapest lift
...The bus ;D ;D ;D

Just checking but the tracker and sidekick would use the same coil spacers correct?

you are correct sir ;D I ran a homemade 2" body lift and some homemade 1 1/2" coil spacers with strutspacers on the front, 235/75/15 tyres and had a blast with that truck I can get some pics of the parts and the truck if you want but I'm at work now so it would have to be this evening :P
-
guys with a coil spacer lift if you do 2" total is it like 2 in rear and 1.25 front do to the arc that IFS creates
i am looking at a spacer lift until I can afford springs
but do not want to look like a backwards drag racer
-
yeah I was wondering that too, when reading zuharies walkthrough it looks like the front spacers are smaller than the rear. And whats this thing about flipping the shocks????? With spacers dont you just inserted the spacer between the coil and top plate and thats it??
-
I don't believe it's the shock you flip, just the plate on top. Maybe someone has pics to point it out...........
-
so its relatively easy to do?? and I do need alignement afterwards?
-
no reason not to get a check - i was ok with spring lift alone, and only needed adjustemsnt with added spacers - get the camber adjustmenst bolts (c $20/30) - easy fit yourself then get a pro to adjust
-
Actually it's the upper strut mount you flip over. You have to drive out the studs and use bolts in their place, as well as add some washers or spacers between the strut mount and the frame to keep the strut mount from crushing as you tighten it down. It's easy to see what I mean when you are looking at the strut. Since you are changing the strut mount's position, even slightly, you should get the alignment checked afterwards.
As for the coil spacers, I run the same size front and rear spacers. Any extra height I picked up in the front from the IFS arc was balanced out by the weight of the bumper/skidplate and winch up front...
