dose anyone know if there are 2 inch high springs. i did a torsion crank. 2". and i want the rear higher. i have never liked blocks on leafs or spacers on springs. so i was wondering if there were any bigger springs i can put in. or if some jeep wrangler springs would fit. just an option.

i would just go with spacers... i've had mine in now for a 2 years and no problems at all... plus they are cheaper than new springs

+1 on the spacers 2" for $50 or 3" for $70

okay then i might go that way then. whts the biggest tire i can stuff under my wheel wells then? 33 or 35? rubbing not a problem. idc about that. i live in SD i can always get fiberglass fenders. and fit right in. haha and how easy are the spacers to put in? a good weekend or should i take it in?

 

[KWT2000]

it took me about 2 hours to put my spacers in

 

[panda24619]

okay. was there any special tools or anything to be careful of when i do it?

 

[KWT2000]

i used a bottle jack between the frame and axel to gain room for the spacers... some have used coil spring compressors but those can be dangerous

 

[panda24619]

okay. so just careful cause the springs. how do i detach the spring from the frame and put the spacer in? or will there be directions when i get the spacers?

 

[KWT2000]

they just sit in place once the axel is low enough they just fall out
