    To get the truck to 2.5" of lift in the front...

    I'm at 2.25" on the driver's side and 2.0" on the passenger's side.(Of thread showing) I was going to add the spacer to put me below the recommended 2.13". All of this is to be at 1" of rake.

    2.25" on the driver side which is a turn over what they recommend.

    yikes. That's alot of threads.

    I have 1" of threads sitting at about 2" of lift. What do your CV angles look like? I wouldn't do spacers with coilers because you may run into over extension issues and binding

    They don’t look bad. Maybe just cause I have the long bed?

    Honestly man, I would leave it as is. Your CV angles are slightly more angled than mine. if you go any more your ride will get harsh, but that's just my opinion

    I was going to turn the coil down and add the 1/4 spacer on the drivers side so I’m at 2”. They’re the same length as the regular travel icons.

    your call. Alot of people do not recommend running spacers with coil overs, but you are only using 1/4". Is it really going to make a difference? I just like the idea of one complete unit vs two separate units

    Me too. I don’t like going over factory recommended spec either. Screw it 6” lift with 6” coil overs. :rofl:

    Yah but those 6” lifts are silly because they become a snow plow underneath on the frame with all that extra metal. Function over form?
