I have a 2003 4x2 xlt
Got to put new leaf spring on it. I thought this would be a good time to put a 2 in lift block on it since everything will be apart.

My question is if I use the 2 in spacers on the front coil will this cause alignment or other problems that will require more parts for the front end?

Thanks

Im thinking any spacer over 1.5 you are going to need new shocks and a new spindle if I remember correct. Guys correct me if I am wrong. But yes if you put the spacers in your are going to need a alignment done and as I said above if you do need the new spindle and you happen to torque your a-arms down to the ball joint its going to put alot of stress on them prob even snap them. Im sure someone will be in soon to correct me if I am wrong.

 

anytime you lift a truck with ifs you should take it in to see if it needs an alignment,you can get away with using your stock shocks and you don't need a new spindle.To lift your rear 2in you can either use a lift block or buy shackles ,and you should buy new u-bolts also imo,but you can re-use your old ones if you want too

 

I couldve swore I was reading somewhere ( I think it was on RPS) that anything above 1.5in you needed new spindles due to the stress on the ball joints but that good to know though.
