I have full coilovers with 8 inch travel. But my original comment stands. Spacers vs longer springs are the same because you are not going to block the springs either way.

In theory yes. But... with reduced rebound is increase in ride roughness and quality, which in turn decreases speed. With reduced speed comes reduced forces on suspension and thus decreased travel especially with really stiff suspension.

Lifting does not increase travel. In fact it diminishes it.

It doesn't work like that. Horrible ride comes from lack of down motion on lifted trucks. The springs don't know where they are. They don't know there is a spacer above them.

You could always use the spacer. Or m998 springs.

Chances are you are riding too high already. But to answer your question, you can always use the daytech spacers which gives 2 inches.

I completely agree with you. I've been pounding the wheel position/wheel travel drum for a while now as seen in my previous posts about whether the truck was riding too low. And to think people are still wanting to lift their rigs even more is ridiculous. With that said, my comment was...

Well the stiffer it is, the faster you need to go anyhow to make it comfortable..

I actually chucked those into the trash. They are nicer than stock but really unless you're going to use the truck as a 2.5 ton vehicle just dump those springs. I don't highly recommend those at all. Remove the shocks and push up and down. I bet you have 3.75 inches of shock shaft showing...

I used m998 shocks because I had a set of new ones lying around. They aren't terrible with a little speed. But the cost was 25 each so that's hard to beat. On my truck I have fully adjustable 2.5". I only cut off a 1/4 of a coil in the rear. 1 full in the front. They sagged a little...

No body lift. That is a stock 1152. After is softens up it should ride a little lower. As for being too low, mid travel should be 23 inches hub to fender.

I put them in the rear of mine. But I also put them in the front and rear of my friends.

Yes you can. You need to cut one full coil off and it will be pretty close

The ram coils don't fit nearly as well as the armadas. Hence they don't work. And the Armada in the rear is the bare minimum and will for most peoples purposes, all they need to do.

a solution aside from what? the coils work. the ram coils dont work. i started with those. besides, they made like 50 different ones and it was impossible keeping track of them.

I believe it was. Thats the 16.5"l x .81"d spring. The AC Delco ones are an exact match and i have used both. It all about price on any given week. Looks and works great with the heavy duty mount imo. An option i havent tried is using the 16" 4x4 with the stock mount. Trimming a little...

The ride height is not dependent on spring rate. It is dependent on spring length. So the question i now have is whats too low? Nobody seems to answer that question before getting a particular spring. I used the armada springs in the front and I felt they were too long for the given...

I used a router personally but you could use a table saw, reciprocating saw or even just leave it. The router allows you to ease the inside corner of the spacer to fit over the lip of the mount. The spacer has a flat bottom and mount has a lip. I have since upgraded to coilovers in the...

I came up with this. It works. But I have a lighter vehicle m998. I also used the 1" daystar spacer cut down a 1/4" to give me a 24" ride height hub to fender.
