If your getting spacers I'd recomend calling sky manufacturing, they have specific kick spacers that don't need to be modified, plus they sell strut spacers to go with it. I did it to mine, I don't regret it, but I'd never do it again. I'd been better off saving up to get the Calmini 3" lift. I spent $120 for the spacers, $60 for BDS strut extensions, $70 for new rear shocks, plus the price of tools and I have a camber issue I haven't dealt with. I know it's not much money but remember it's a less than 2" lift. The first thing I do to my new one is a calmini 3" kit.

I'm running the spacer lift.  31s.  I flipped my strut mount and used parts store Crown Vic shocks.  A grand total of $30 since I made my own spacers.

So you got 33's on it with that lift???? I got spacers and a 2"body lift...Have not bought tires yet...I have a full size with 33" MT's on it with less than 1500 miles on the tires that I'm not driving...Got any good side pics???  5.13 gears + 8v + 33's = sick (or so I'd think)

Thanks Tom K

I'm curious about that too... I had to run a set of my spacers plus a 4" body lift and I still had to do some trimming to fit 33" swampers... ???

I forgot to mention that i have a 3inch body lift.  I had to cut about an inch or so (i guess) behind the front wheel and I had to cut  the bottom corner in front of the rear wheels i consider that very little trimming.   Ill take some pics this week
