Just checked the truck I have coils, what are my options besides coil spacers. I've been told about other options but wanted to check with people who have used other methods

 

Some places have a front end leveling kit. May be jc whitney again. I remember on trucks when stacy was on there, he showed them one time. Or you could just go with it. Does it look bad as is?

 

I just checked the truck and I got coils. Its a 2008 1500 z71 silverado 4x4. any other ideas other that spacers and leveling kits?

 

well it does look bad compared to it original stance but also i go coastal fishing and I need all the clearance i can get. I like the grill guard but it really did lower my front end. i may have to just take it off til i find a spacer or whatever is needed.

 

Big tires on the front and small ones on the back??? Put more weight in the back of the truck to level it out? Buy a lowering kit for the rear? JK about those. IDK of many other things besides a leveling kit, spacers, or maybe some longer coils. Are you sure it lowered the front that much? My grille guard didn't lower my front end but maybe a quarter of an inch

 

Some of the 4X4 guys swear by those inflatable rubber bags that go in between the springs...

 

what are those inflatable things called and do they work?

 

They are called air bags and you can lower and lift the truck whenever you want... They are cheap if you get the manually filled ones. They get more pricey when you get the switch to automatically fill them up heres a pic..........

 

would you recommend a polyurethane coil spacer. they seem to be the cheapest possilbe solution

 

Craning up the torsion bars to get the truck back to stock ride hight does not hurt anything or wear out cv joints prematurely. Cranking up the torsion bars to above stock ride hight can wear out cv joints prematurely. I guess the same would be true for coils also, and those spacers your talking get wedged between the coil to give it less compression capability.
