    I made a mistake... can you guess?

    I couldn't get a proper lift approved from my finance manager (my wife) and I did a block and spacer lift from supreme suspension on stock shocks. I like the height but I don't like the ride. I drove through a grass field and knew I made a mistake - very bumpy. Not only that, I went with 265/75 and I should have done 285's

    Now, you suspension guru's - what should I do... keeping budget in mind. I should get a few tax return bucks I can earmark to fix the mistake.

    What is your budget? How do you plan on using your truck?

    There are a lot of different options for you. From $ to $$$

    light off road. I'm from Maryland so the options are limited. Mudding, not really rock crawl of any sort. Should have done some method rims with 285/70/17's. I know it'll rub but minimal as possible. I don't know offsets enough but with my 1.25" spacers I have now I think 0mm is fine... or if I take them off I think -32ish looks good. Can I pop 5100's on the front with my current spacers and have my ride better? Or do I need total coil over replacement? I'm looking to get a slimline bumper which will add a few pounds on the front as well...

    I would remove the spacer and run 5100's with a set of OME coils to go with them to give you the lift

    what OME springs do you suggest for a decently smooth ride?

    Get rid of the spacer lift up front. Wait on the new tires and rims (as funds allow).
