    I installed a 3/2 leveling kit with 285/75/17 KO2 and now I want to add front suspension. What option do I have with the previous added modifications I have made in the past to keep the same lift hight. Would like to keep the front leveling kit installed if possible.

    So you want to replace the suspension but keep your shitty spacer lift? When the whole point of getting better coilovers is that you can maintain your front lift with a better ride quality? Sounds dumb.

    Why wouldn’t you just use the suspension upgrade to get your lift while improving your ride?

    Yeah . . . . if you don't have the money to do it right, don't screw with it.

    I get it. Just think you could have achieved both goals with a good suspension and maybe saved some money. But it happens. Welcome aboard. You aren’t the first to do it this way, I’m sure someone will be along with helpful options. But you might find removing your current setup to be the best.

    Research is key. Plenty of threads on here about lifts. Lots to choose from.
    Good luck

    I'm afraid many have fallen pray (Or Prey) to this same occurrence even myself. As @71tattooguy said research is key but sometimes overlooked for instant gratification from us newbies in regards to suspension. (Again including myself) And welcome! :hattip:

    5100’s are Great that’s what I’m running. Eibach great kit as well. These kits get you 2” to 2.5” of lift. With your wheel
    Tire set up might have some rubbing. Anyways I started also with a spacer lift got rid of it went to Bilsteins 2” front lift and rear 1.5” aal. Imo great set up for my needs. Just my 2cents

    I was looking at Icon extended travel 0-3.5 front. I believe I need to replace the UCA’s also...

    I have kings and zero complaints aside from the price. But if money is an issue, go with 5100’s and OME coils. You’ll get rid of that spacer lift and improve you ride quality.
