ok, really dumb question here.

What are the RC Spindles you guys are talking about?

I would like to not lift my RCSB 2wd, but level it out, so would a daystar 1.5" or 2.5" spring spacer do the trick? If so which one, I don't want to over do it and have the front higher.

I would like to run 265/75/16s

Thanks for putting up with my dumb questions guys.

As far as I know the 1.25" spacer lift it 2" so I would go with the 2.5. My crew cab stock rake is 3.25"

i have my 02 ecsb with the 2in daystar coil spacers and im running 285 70 17 bfg's and they fit just fine... i was running a 265 70 17 bfg all terrain before the spacers and they fit just fine...

do any of yall have an expierence with the bilstein 5100's? i wanna get those as shocks, will they work? i have read that those level out your truck by them selfs... i just wanna know if i do those to are they going to over do the stock susp? (spring, dorman upper control arm, stock lca, and moog tie rods)

I've never heard of a shock alone lifting a truck a noticable difference, any other opinions?
