    I have the REVTEK leveling kit and I have no problems at all. It might be a little rough of a ride but its nothing serious. I off road it and havent had any problems yet. Does a 3" suspension lift give you more lift? I have the 3" front 1" rear leveling kit.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    a spacer lift is a form of a suspension lift. there are different ways of doing them...spacers, beefed coils, complete coilovers...

    You guys have managed to worry me a little...

    These are only .75" thick and gave me a little less than 1.5" of lift.

    All I cared do was pick the nose up off the ground a bit and keep my factory ride.
    I have noticed no difference in ride at all and still have plenty of downward travel.
    Am I really going to waste my ball joints? Washboard roads with the ocassional small
    run-off ditch at moderate speeds is about as crazy as I'll ever be getting with it.

    With a .75" spacer, you should be ok. Its only when you get into the 1.25" or 1.5" that I have heard the trouble begins.

    Where did you get those?? I just had the Daystar 1" spacer installed and I think it may be a little high in the front, around 2" lift. Those .75"'s would be perfect.
