GMT400 2WD Lift Guide.

I'm about to install 4" Rough Country spindles, and 3" coil spacers. Can I get away with 1.5" - 2" balljoint spacer and the stock UCA? I'm in Hawaii so with shipping, tubular control arms gonna be nearly $800! Hopefully that's an upgrade I can do later...

So what lift are you running here? 4” spindle and nothing on the rear. This is the exact stance I am wanting on my truck.

I just installed the RC 4" spindles on the front of my Suburban. Now I'm starting on the rear. My original plan was spindles plus 3" coil spacer - Good luck! Even with a spring compressor, that wasn't gonna happen. So I gave up and settled on just the spindles. I already bought ProComp stainless extended brake lines, and they fit perfectly. My goal was to run 35s. Now I might end up with 33s up front 35s out back.

That's the lift I got accept I added 3/4 leaf springs to lift the ass a bit.

So I've been lurking around here for a long time, and finally joined. I've got an 88 C1500 reg cab long wheelbase that was my granddaddy's. Already sourced and have a '95 9.5 14 bolt cover axle almost ready to go in. Just have to decide on wheels/tires, and whether to go with Spindle Source or Rough Country.

Any preference on a 4 in between Spindle Source or Rough Country? Quality, differences between specs or design, etc??

Also, when converting to 6 lug up front, do the calipers have to be changed as well?

Just one of what is pictured in the box. I informed them it was a wrong part and they sent another box with the same thing in it. Am I missing something? I have a 96 C2500 5.7 and want to raise the front slightly. Now I have 2 of the items I show in the picture. I'm expecting a rubber spring spacer as pictured in the link. They also say PAIR and both boxes have only 1 item in them.

edit - I just got a refund. Still want to raise the front of my C2500 though...

I was gonna do a 5inch Block in back and 3 inch fabtech coils up front and keep the RC spindles To gain another inch or two

I know fabtech might have 2500 coils
