    Is anybody running this lift? How is this lift? Is it more stiff than stock? I know its better the go with new coils and struts but i dont want to spend too much just lifting the truck. I need four new tires aswell!

    Its fine. I ran spacer for about a year or so with nothing failing or damage. Houston TX is notorious for road potholes and uneven street xD

    Just a bit stiffer but its not bad. I also did ran them for bigger tires. As long as you know that adding these spacer does not mean you can max out your flex on trails or jumping the speed bump or dunes. Minor offroad is fine.

    Yes like tough forestry roads and stuff, not thinking of doing anything to extreme yet. With this lift can i add coils and struts whenever? Like long travel or something. If i decide i want the flex and to ride harsher trails. Or would that mean replacing them? So it is worth it for a starter lift. For someone like myself. (Beginner with a nice new truck i dont want to damage) thanks for the help

    if you eventually want to go with coils and struts just save and get them the first time. I ran a pro-comp spacer lift for a while and regret not just getting my OME kit im running now.

    Do it right once, just my experience

    What oem lift arr you running ?? Im willing to spend more on something i will love because a spacer lift seems like temp. How much for the lifts you guys recomend (with coils and struts), and how much did they cost?

    Im running 885x coils and 5100's. It is alittle bit stiff, but I'm running them on an Access Cab. 885's are usually run on DC's but its a truck and I dont mind it being stiff
