    I want to raise my truck by 2". Should I put a lift on it or spacers?

    Depends on what kind of driving you do. I think the consensus answer is going to be that you should spend the few extra bucks to do a proper lift and avoid the spacers.

    spacers are a type of lift too, new shocks and coils will be a much better ride. new leafpack in rear, or a good 3 leaf add a leaf :thumbsup:

    also depends on budget, if you can eek out $1000-$1500 (or more), you can get a decent set up :thumbsup:
