Thats why you realign the camberFordCarnage said:You don't want coil spacers. They will only jack up your camber. Remember you have the scissor suspension.
How much fender trimming would be required with a 1.5 inch spacer to clear 33x12.5?4x4junkie said:With fender trimming, 33x12.50s on 15x8 rims should be possible.
All of it! I ran 10.50s like this for a while on stock rims & it worked with little rubbing.. 12.50s on 8" rims with 3.75 bs rubbed like no otherSpineTx said:How much fender trimming would be required with a 1.5 inch spacer to clear 33x12.5?

Got a friend with an Autofab kit http://www.autofab.com/mdl28kit.htm on a '89 Ranger prerunner, and he gets almost 19" of travel w/ stock halfshafts and steering. He's done at least 2,000 miles off road in Baja alone (Supports Locos Mocos pit crew for the Baja 1000) and beats the thing like you can't believe.
I realize it's pricey, but so is getting stuck inthe boonies because you afro-engineered something.

Why/how would you even compare that to what I posted? Woo hoo for you. 2.5 whole inches, huh? Nice drop brackets and lift blocks. That's a really neato stat about the jack! Oh, and it's $1,199.95 ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY-FIVE CENTS??? You got reamed, sparky. Did they at least grease it first?el ranger loco said:James duff is only $1100 :flipoff2:
Pic was taken with two swaybars attatched & not fully extended. This thing will max out a hilift with both front tires on the ground.
Because that shit you posted is still bolt on & still ttb.. Oh & fuck you thats not even my truck. :flipoff2: Also for what its worth, no blocks [deavers] & this truck is running 33s on that 2.5" of lift & has near zero body roll. You are just under the impression that money = performance.Billy_Manfroy said:Why/how would you even compare that to what I posted? Woo hoo for you. 2.5 whole inches, huh?

Now back that mall queen up and hit that ditch at about 50 and get back to us. You can even unhook your sway bars if you think that'll somehow help. Be sure to post some video.
You're still here? So you mean to say that's not even yours, it's just your dream truck?!? The "shit" I posted IS still bolt on and IS still TTB, but it's CUT AND TURNED TTB you ***! AND THEY COME WITH THE KITS! Do you even know what that means? Money does not ALWAYS equal performance, but drop brackets ALWAYS = shit. 33" tires? You'd better not have any body roll, and you'd better not turn the wheels, either. Most people who go off-road prefer the tires not to hit anything in the fender wells.el ranger loco said:Because that shit you posted is still bolt on & still ttb..

To answer the original question.....SpineTx said:Thanks for the reply's. I'm posting this for a friend. He doesn't really wheel this, he just wants some xtra clearance.
4x4Junkie, so 2 inches of spacer lift will leave enough room for camber/caster adjustment, that sounds perferct. What size tires will he be able to fit. He is willing to do some fender triming and we already moved the front bumper forward 2 inches.
Rabid ranger, what diameter would you make them, and would you suggest an inner "lip" to fit inside the coil. If not what would you use to secure the spacer to the coil or coil mount.
