hey guys check this out...this seems to be an interesting alternative to a coil spacer..brand new coils!! click on the link below..i found these coils which seem to be longer then stock and there for willl lift the front of truck same as the spacers(so they say!)
i wonder if greg has any input on this ...wonder if i could use these coils in addition to a complete suspension lift......?????????

You can also buy the Daystar kit for about $30 less and get the same results.

By this do you mean blown OEM coil overs? [Since it's adding the lift at/within the springs instead of on top like your kits].

Greg: Will this coils fit on the rancho lift with the rancho RSX9000 shocks?, my truck is currently @ the shop for its third set of panchos now, in less than 4 months...

someone run those and the spacers cause i dont want to be the first to try.

THe biggest issue with using a lift-spring is that is will extend the shock so far that you will have very, very little down travel (or "droop") and instead of the tire following the ground and letting the wheel fall into a hole, the whole truck will follow into the hole. Add to that the weak factory shcok that will need to contain the coil and its much heaveier spring rate (probelm with the daystar kits) and you will most likely have a broken shock in short order. THese springs are typically just too heavy-duty. If you want a bit more lift on a 2wd, consider a 4wd spring. But there is really nothing for the 4wd. I have looked into making new coils that would complimnet a lift or add jsut a bit more spring (for winch bumpers or plows) but you still have a second-rate shock.

what about running a longer shock would that be the only thing holding it up. A long bilstein and a little bit of a lift coil and I would be game. I want to more inches in the front...its just almost there with the spindles and spacers.
