I install it, is nothing more to remove and replace? what else do I need? recommend me do? saying? I will not have problems? thank you

most people here will discourage spacer lifts as they harshen your ride and speed up wear on most likely worn suspension parts. I notice your in costa rica tho so it may be hard to get suspension parts shipped to you so the spacer may be all you have, make sure to get spacers for the front and rear and take your time.

right in my country hardly get anything, then you should not install? use is mostly asphalt but with sporadic outings gravel roads, nothing too extreme

Yes it will give you the extra clearance and the look I'm sure you want but some of the downsides to spacers is harsher ride and like I said. You will be fine with spacers just be aware of there limitations. There's a few threads on here of people who install them and they work great for what they are.

lift

Hi,

I installed a 2 inch lift (just like what you are planning to buy) and to get it in place, I had to remove the upper ball joint from the knuckle. This is due to the extra 2 inches on the strut and limited space between the frame and the lower control arm.

Ride stays the same as you are not compressing the spring with this spacer. I have 99 long springs in the rear without any spacers and the truck is leveled out.

With the this 2 inch lift, there is not really a significant strain on the front CV's or rubber boots. So I think 2 inches is the best.

With any suspension lift, make sure you gently lose all the nuts/bolts holding the bushings and bump your truck few times (while all the wheels are on the ground, no jack stands!) so the bushings now take new positions and tight the bolts back. Yes, you need an alignment.

See the pictures (also notice new OEM LBJ's)
First 3 pictures are driver side, before, spacer and after
pics 4 and 5 are passenger side before and after
