New front springs

Mwilbur516 · Jan 19, 2014

Who knows where I can buy new front springs that would accomplish the same thing as stockers and 2.5" aluminum spacers. I currently have the spacers and stock springs. Id like to loose the spacers and do aftermarket lift springs only. I'm trying to decide what height I want. Id really like 4" higher than stock. I'll go ahead and get an adjustable trac bar as well. Would I need a drop pitman arm?

Any info is appreciated.

Your better off just getting a 4 in kit complete, you will need to do the pitman arm/ track bar drop and springs and a re alignment. Also a 4in rear block to level the truck out

Thing is, I've already got the rear block, U-bolts and shocks. All I really need is the springs, trac bar and drop pitman arm.

Some said the stock pitman arm was sufficient for up to 4" of lift, but I have to doubt that.

ICON makes a 2.5in leveling kit that uses new springs. Maybe check that out??

I've got 2.5" spacers, just wanna go higher. I guess I could do new springs and still use the spacers..... I really thought someone made a set of 4" taller than stock coils for around $150. I swear I saw them somewhere a couple months ago, now I can't find them.

You can use your stock tracbar with a drop trac bar bracket.
Or icon makes a nice adjustable track bar to have a better quality bar.

I have 4in springs and a pitman arm if you want them.
Only thing you'll need is a trac bar bracket

How much do you want for the springs and pitman arm?

I've been looking at the Icon and BD adjustable track bars.

Running the old DR 4.5" kit with the TEI using the stock pitman arm and the ICON adjustable trac bar. NEVER needed an alignment.

I think there are a few people out selling used parts on the Classifieds or Craigs.

Matt I gotta see what parts I have in the garage I'll let you know later on.

You cannot go wrong with the icon bar, I beat the piss out of mine and it still holds up like when I first installed it

Take a look when you have time and let me know. I appreciate it.

I definitely want a new adjustable bar in case I go bigger in the future. Plus, it's just a better way than the drop bracket IMHO.

I can get adjustable track bars from PMF. They don't have the springs you looking for listed separate from there lift kit but I'm sure they can be purchased separate.

Don't be shy, shoot me a price on the track bar!

Once you go above 4.5" you have to do a # of things, drop steering stab bracket, pitman arm and stack a block in the rear with new u-bolts in addition to the adj. drag bar. Also extended sway bar end links F&R and SS brake lines.

+ you should know there is a huge difference in the drive-ability from 35's and 4" and 6" with 37's.

I did all of this in my journey to where i am today ICON 4.5" +2
spring spacer.

If had it to do over i would sell the 4.5" kit and buy ICON's 7" kit for just a bit more than i got in it now.

That's why I'm staying at 4" of liftvand 35's. That's plenty. I've had trucks with lifts from 6" up to 10", no fun driving day to day.

At this point, I'm gonna wait and see what Odawg comes up with. If he finds a set of 4" springs and drop pitman arm laying around and we settle on a price, I'll go that route.
