    I’m not talking about the kind that compress the coil but the kind That sits on top of the whole shock. I also want a block for the rear. 2 inches in front and 1.5 in the rear. Am I wrong for thinking this will be ok? I drive 2 miles of fire road every day but it’s all graded and nice year round. Stock suspension has been fine for me and I just wanna lift my truck for mall crawling purposes. Am I high? Or am I still sane?

    You’ll be fine as long as you keep driving your truck the same way you do now. Spacer lifts are for cosmetic purposes and not performance based. There’s nothing wrong with that. Where people run into issues is when they drive their spacer-lifted truck like it has performance coil overs.

    OME and worth every penny.
    You'll be ok. Just remember the factory set up the driveline for stock angles though so you're getting all the bad effects of a lift with no benefit.
    Do people really still look at other vehicles now? Seems like it would distract from texting.

    Should be fine. I have a 3 in, with diff drop and aal. Hardcore off road it is really rough. But it’s fine. For work I’m in 4x4 a couple times a week and it’s worked out for me. I know on this site guys will spend a ton on the lift just to do basic off road trails and then complain about the trail rash. Too me it’s a work truck. Put it to the test. Parts are cheap anyway!!

    I first went spacer lift. After having it for a few months. Took it to alignment shop twice. The ride was different. Did a lot of research learned a lot from members on here. I do camping light trails and use my truck like a truck. Went with 5100’s all round 1.5” front lift and Wheelers aal in rear 1.5”. Kept factory rake or close to it. Ride is stiffer but great. No vibes etc. just my 2 cents. Good luck
