Need suggestions on my lift setup
So I recently had the bright idea to upgrade my suspension once again...this time so I could possibly set up 315s. I purchased Icons remote reservoir extended travel cdcv coilovers with icons RR rear shocks w/ cdcv shocks with metal techs rear long travel coils. I also purchased icons rear adjustable track bar and metal techs lower links and upper links. And a 1.5" fat pats body lift. I got all the parts in and dropped it off at the mechanic last wed to have them start putting it on and they have come into a few problems that I would like some peoples thoughts on just because its been almost a week for them to do all this. I previously had a 3" OME lift on my runner. They have said they got the suspension on and dialed in adjusting the bars/links so my rear tires sit right. But when putting the body lift on, a few of the holes on the steering spacer didn't match up right..so it took a fab shop a day or two to make a new one. They also said that the truck is having quite a bit of rake sitting where its at and they think the OME had more of a lift in the front then the Icons are bringing me (3" for OME and 2" for Icon). They suggested putting on a spacer over the coilover so I can maximize travel. They said they could crank up the coilover instead but I will lose travel and when they have done that for people in the past, they usually crank it back down and come back in for the spacer. They also suggested a diff drop which I've already read mixed reviews on...as of now I have told them to move forward to having a spacer made from a fab shop but not to do the diff drop. I would appreciate any input from the people here. Thanks!
