    I'm planning to get an 05-11 and want to lift it 4 inches.

    In the front, I'm going to get 5100's, ome 887 coils, and some uca's. In the rear I'm going to get the extended length 5100's with a deaver expedition leaf pack. I know that this would only give me 3 inches in both the front and rear though.

    So, would buying 1 inch spacers and blocks on top of that be terrible? Is anybody able to tell me the pro's vs. con's of this? Sorry is something similar has already been posted.

    Dont stack lifts, buy once cry once. Otherwise you will be crying alot more when you break stuff and dont get what you want out of it. Get a 4” drop bracket kit from BDS or RC

    If he really does have a prerunner like his profile states then he could just do maxtrac spindles for 4in in the front.

    I currently do have a prerunner but I'm trying to get it sold to buy an 05-11 4wd dcsb to build up.

    Question:
    What about a 4” BDS drop bracket but upgrading to Fox coilovers in the front (2” of lift) and adding a 2” spacer..?
    The drop bracket would align the LCA, the new spindle would align the UCA, and the shock would have full travel without bottoming out.
    No?

    Why not just get the whole BDS 4” kit with fox shocks?

    That kit comes with Fox rear shocks, not front coilovers.

    I actually just got an email back from Fox, and they said their 883-02-048 coilovers are good for 4-6” of lift.
    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
    So I’m probably getting the 4” BDS kit and upgrading the front end with these Fox coilovers.
