RC 2" lift coils and 4" lift spindles

[Stroked385]

97 silverado 2wd and Im trying to find some feedback on this setup but have not found anything.. Is anybody using this as a lift ? all i can find is threads of people using spacers but i need to buy coil springs soooooo.... and if you are using this, pics and tire size would be great..

Im currently on a Fabtech 7.5" but want to drop it down a bit and run some 33/12.50/15 on 15x10 mickey thompson classics


Anybody?

I can't help with the lift but please don't get 15x10's. 8 wide looks so much better!

[Stroked385]

Well Thanks but I already have the 15x10's

Well Thanks but I already have the 15x10's

well that settles that. lol

But about the lift, ive searched my butt off trying to find someone that has the rough country 2in kit and ive had no luck. i would really like to know how it rides also. Or you could try the Canuck springs and if you cant get the alignment right you could flip the balljoints. but all ive heard about the Canuck springs are the 3in springs ride rough. sorry i know this really doesnt help but im in the same boat you are... wanting to get some lift springs that ride good!

yes ive searched alll over to and cant find any info either. I think i will just throw these 15x10's on craigslist and buy a new set of 15x8 and run a 32" tire... that should work well i hope.

i want to the the 2" coils also. do they work with the factory suspension or will i have to buy other aftermarket parts to make them work? i just want my truck level but i slso need new coils and dont want to use spacers either.

I just bought the 2" RC lift kit for the front of my 1993 Ext. Cab Silverado... I dont have the springs on it yet, but they will be on within a week or so... Ive gotta wait till I have a day off of work...lol.. but it seems like a nice kit, I bought the kit from RC from ebay, and it is coil spring,Ball-jointspacers,and bolts for around $150... I also bought a new set of Moog Upper Ball-joints, did I mention I am an ASE certified Steering and Suspension Specialist, and I am still nervous in swapping these springs out...lol.... looks like they should be fun...lol... I will let you guys know how it goes, and how they ride asap..

Thanks!!!!

I'm getting ready to lift my 93 2wd and after lots of research I decided to go with the 4 in spindle and a 2 in daystar coil spacer up front. I heard a ton of ppl say the lifted springs made the front ride extremely stiff, where as the reviews on the daystar spacers kept the stock ride quality. I already ordered all the parts, but won't be putting them on till I get home from college, I'll post some pics and what not once I get it done. I'm curious to hear how y'all think the springs and ball joint spacers work, just in case the spacers suck lol
