    Even if it helps a little bit its still worth it, I should have gone with the coils in the first place but thanks for the advice man:cool:

    Given the choice, never go spacers or blocks for a lift.

    Coils are a much better lift option than spacers. But one vs the other at the same exact lift height won't change the UCA angle. It's geometry. Imagine your truck parked on the street. Put a jack under the front lift point and raise the jack until it just barely touches the lift point, but does not lift the truck at all. Then using magic make the the coils and shocks and spacers disappear. The truck doesn't move because it's weight is now supported by the jack. If the truck didn't move, the UCA didn't move. See how that works? The amount of lift affects the UCA angle.

    The only thing I'm aware of that will give you a lift while maintaining a stock UCA angle is a maxtrac spindle but don't work on 4wd models. Any other lift changes the UCA angle.
