    Tw guys really dont like spacers. You could buy a new 6 inch lift kit but you would need to cut your crossmember out for the dif drop. You’re better off investing in a solid mid travel kit with a 3 inch lift. Just my 2¢

    It's like this - raise your truck over 2.5-3" and it's like the truck version of slamming your car enough to where you bottom out on speed bumps and have to slant up every parking lot entrance. Handling is affected because center of gravity increases and you end up feeling so top heavy it's like you're driving a little tikes push car. Coils that are compressed with spacers are already in their compressed state enough that they don't cushion your ride as smoothly so instead of glide over bumps you bang and thump over them. The optimal lift that I've seen guys use for bigger tires with good clearance is bilstein's all around and a good full replacement leaf pack that gets them 2.5" of lift and add a 1" body lift to clear tires better.

    If you can return the rough country lift you could do that and go the bilstein way. That would give you a better ride on and off road for sure.

    If you can wait until Black Friday there's a lot of parts places that give good deals ;)
