Anonymous

I want a bit more height up front, esp when the shrock bump goes on, what kind of problems would we expect, has anyone done it yet?

I see the new calmini spacers, how long are we going to have to wait for those?

It seems like it wouldn't do much harm except for the control arm angles, still not terrible?

Any opinions out there?

It can not be done. Greg tried it when he was putting on his lift kit. He ordered the AC and the Daystar. I think that he posted it here about it. It will not work at all. So you'll either have to go with the 2.5" of lift you get right now or wait and shell out the money for the Calmini or SLR 5" lift kit if you want more lift out of it.

If you just want 2-2.5" lift you have a few options now.

Calmini has the 2.5" spacer lift with either shackles or AAL in the rear.

Daystar has a 2" spacer with shackles in the rear.

AC (4x4parts.com) has a 2.5" coil lift with either shackles or AAL in the rear.

The front spacer give you a higher ride height with little change in the ride comfort (it will still be soft).

The front coils will stiffen the ride quite a bit.

The rear shackles will give you a higher ride height with little change in ride comfort.

The rear AAL will stiffen the ride quite a bit and also allow you to put more stuff in the back without it sagging. *Remember, just by adding leafs, you do not change the max GVW.

Thanks, I didn't give enough info on the first post,

I have the AC coils on now, w/ shackles.

Love the lift, want more up front.

I can wait for the Calmini, or whatever comes next.

Ah, gotcha.

You can't go any higher until someone comes out with new UCA's. If you try running the springs and spacers the UCA's hit the shock tower.

I'll tell you, the AC springs didn't sag one bit when I installed the Shrock bumper, so if you are fine where it rides now, it'll be just as god once the bumper is on. (I know, you can never have enough lifts).
