Coil Spacers/Alignment issues?
I just picked up a nice set of 255/70/16 Goodyears on Ranger 5 spoke Wheels to replace my 225/70/14 "Grandpa" Wheels.
The tires are allmost 4" taller than my stock set-up ,so I bought the Daystar 2" Coil Spring Spacer Kit.
My Concern is the Tech Line at Daystar told me that about 50% of "I Beam" Rangers cannot acheive enough positive Camber to get a proper Alignment.
He also told me there are 2 different sizes of bolt extenders made for Rangers 5/8" or 3/4".
Anybody want to share experiences??
What are my options if the spacers wont work?
Spindle lift?A-Arms?
I'm trying to spend as little as possible. The main function of the lift is tire clearance.I won't be going off-road much with a 2wd open diff.
I really don't want to consider a body Lift.I understand it's inexpensive,but very labor intense.
Any Ideas??
Thanks for any help!

try skyjacker coils if you dont want to use the spacers.
but ive not really heard of anyone not being able to realign after the install. 2" is about the max you can go without having to go more indepth with suspension work, and you should still be able to get it back to almost if not better than factory specs.

Pretty simple with use of a spring compressor, and Air Tools.
Although the Springs may be a bit tougher to get back in with the added spacers and extensions.
Any Tips for an easier Install??

then remove one of the bolts holding the sway bar on eather top or bottom of the link.
have someone stand on the spindle and the coil will go right in and out really simple, no need for a spring compressor at all to take out or install, totaly pointless
