Subject: how the heck do i install coil spacers
IP: Logged

Message:
I just bought some coil spacers (used) and have know clue how to install them. I don't even know which coil compressors to use, the ones that clamp on the inside, or the outside. What exactly are the procedures on putting them on.

the ones that clamp on on the inside are better. you pull the spindle off.
Obviously have a jack under the lower a arm.
Compress the spring. pull it out. install the spacer then reinstall the spring and the spindle.
youll need longer shocks

its most likely gonna have to be a extended shock ( however much you end up lifting the truck) but as for shocks everyone has a opinion. I like the KYB and pro comp 9000. I recently switched to pro comp 9000 and love them. go for 3000s in the rear and 9000 up front I took the 9000 all the way around but I haul tools in the bed of my truck so it doesnt bother me. if its unloaded going over a bump is stiff

I have coil spacers, I didn't need an extended shock. might want to see what people used that have the fabtech as its the same amount of lift.
