No crossmember lift

So I originally had to replace my leaf springs because they were blown out and sagging. While deciding what leaf springs to go with I decided to do a small lift and went with the ICON 2.5” lift springs but that obviously caused the front to be too low so I installed coil overs and cranked them to what I would imagine is equivalent to a 3.5” lift in the front. Now I’m concerned my LCAs won’t have enough length since the ball joints look like they’re at full lock. I really don’t want to install new crossmembers for the lift but figured some LCAs would do the trick. Any input would help.

 

You're probably fine, but might need higher rate springs if you have them cranked so much, and UCA's if you're having a hard time getting an alignment or if your current ones are hitting your coilovers.

The rear springs have a tendency to settle over a few weeks, so I wouldn't worry about the rear as much.

 

I appreciate it. I do have freedom off-road UCAs so they’re not rubbing. I am going to have to do something about an alignment though. As I was installing my coilovers I noticed one of my alignment tabs was flat. Looks like someone took a hammer to it. Probably happened at one of the terrible alignment shops where I live.

The springs have been on for about a month but haven’t really settled a lot but also hasn’t had a lot of road time since it’s just one of my play vehicles.

 

new UCA’s for sure

 

3.5" is too much if you're 4WD, 21" from center of lower shock bolt to the top of the coil hat or you're going to start blowing CV's frequently.

 

I’d go lower if I could get the rear lower without replacing leaf springs again
