    6 inch lift on 35s
    I put a 6 inch rough country lift on it with 35s and full wrap bumper. Now I've only got about 1 inch clearance on front bump stops. I'm searching for a good fix. New struts and springs to accommodate lift but no one make them without using the spacer from lift.

    King offers coilovers that work with said lift.

    I'm not sure through what vendor but you can order them directly from King as many others have.

    I was never a fan of these lifts, all for height factor. Def some coilovers would help there.

    Unfortunately your options are pretty limited because of how that lift is designed. It's a cheap lift for a reason, unfortunately.

    Aside from the King coilovers that @Kwikvette mentioned, which cost more than your entire lift did, you're going to need to find stiffer rate springs to accommodate your heavier bumper.

    Look for a spring that is an OEM replacement that does NOT lift your truck, but is simply a stiffer rate spring.
