MJfan94 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Roughly what size coil spacer would I need to make my truck level, I don't like how the front sits lower then the back but I like the height it sits at.
Incommando Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 It really depends on how much, if any, spring sag you have. But the posts I have seen claim approximately 2" of rake. They are measuring from the center of the hub to the bottom of the flare without stating whether they determined if the rear flare is higher than the front flare or not, though. It may or may not be. Did they check? Who knows. I personally think it is actually closer to 1.25". I base this estimate on laying a 4' level on the top of my bed rail and seeing how much I had to jack up the front to level the bubble. I measured from the bottom of the stock bumper to the ground as all I needed from the measurement was the difference in the measurements. The semantics of where and how to measure where eliminated this way. http://comancheclub.com/topic/28129-ride-height-rake-actual-lift/
shelbyluvv Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I agree with the above. 1" is good. You can add an extra isolator above the coil to bump it up an additional 9/16-5/8" or so.
CGCWO Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 On my 89 2wd, I used 1.75 inch spacers and got with-in 1/8th of an inch on all four corners (top of tire to bottom of fender flare edge).
Blue XJ Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Use a jack and raise the front up until it sits how you want it to, then measure how much you lifted it, that is the size of spacer that you need.
