    more than likely. the coils will essentially do the same thing your spacer does, just with better ride quality and all around better.

    I'd say that angle is too much...
    and screw diff drops... waste of money IMO

    Ideally you want no less then 60/40
    60% uptravel and 40% down travel.

    I run mine closer to 55/45
    ...managing 295/75/16's
    'ave 12 years abuse on muh original CV's and boots

    that's all I got to say about it

    If yer tires don't fit... start cutting ;)

    My CVs are about the same angle and I ordering my diff drop kit from Wheelers Monday (they were closed today). They have been like that for about a year with no problems so far. After talking to a mech I know, he just put a diff drop kit on his Tundra and said its a cheap semi-decent insurance. CVs aren't that $$, just a PITA to change. The Drop kit is much cheaper than a lock-out conversion I was considering doing. I do mostly trail-riding so the CVs don't see extreme duty anyway.

    Well it took only a year and a half to waste one of the new CVs. The boot tore to hell over the weekend. They were whatever replacement Dan orders. I am going with the Toyota reman. from TRDParts4U for a replacement. $130.
