I have been researching these leveling kits for too long. I really dont want to spend the money for the lorenz, carli so is the two inch spacers with bilsteins going to be alright? Also does bilsteins on the back really help the ride? thanks

I have done 2 now on a 2nd gen and 3rd gen. Never an issue and no alignments on either

can you notice the axle off center at all?

ChrisM55

why would the axle be off center??

CTD NUT

With out a track bar adjustment to lengthen it to compensate for the higher operating angle after the spacers are installed, it will pull the front axle slightly to the drivers side. The drag link also needs to be adjusted accordingly in conjunction with the track bar.

just my .02. All the info above might be true as far as things being out of alignment and needing to be adjusted. I just put in the spacers and didnt adjust anything, axle looked fine........drove it that way for 50k and the tires still looked good 50k later when i put a 4" lift on......just my experience.

CTD NUT

I did say slightly. Regardless, if the drag link and track bar are made to operate on a larger angle as a result of the lift, they will have to be lengthened if you care about having your alignment bang on. Some people care, some don't.....

For the record CDT NUT........I wasnt saying you're wrong and I agree with your suggestions. I was just relaying my experiences.

Hey thanks to you all but about the ride do the bilsteins on the back help out or should i just leave them stock?
CTD nut i am not familiar with front ends, so are new track bars and drag link required or can stock be adjusted? thanks

checkster

the drag(steering) link is adjustable the track bar isnt........

CTD NUT

Yes, thank you for correcting....

stock trackbar = not adjustable

Aftermarket trackbar = adjustable

CTD NUT

The simple answer is no, you do not need to get an adjustable track bar if you add 2" spacers....the stock drag link is adjustable but you don't usually need to bother with that unless the track bar length is being altered too.
