    Ok this is the setup i want to do. 3.5 spindle, 3.5 coils, 2 inch lift shackles, and 4 inch blocks.

    But the question is If i get the 3.5 inch lift coil will i need new front shocks?

    I want to do the 3.5 coils first cause they are cheaper then I will buy the other stuff later down the road

    im pretty sure you would. you would end up maxing out the shock, Check around, they do make shocks for lifted trucks, i think they start at a 3".

    Ok thanks I'll get the money for the coils and shocks. Or I could go cheaper and get 3 inch spacers lol.

    I jump my truck so it won't be too smart to get spacers. I'm thinking of putting these turn in blocks in my coils for now. I'm gonna borrow my brothers jack so I can try my 33's in the front at stock height.

    My buddy told me I wouldn't. I didn't think the coil was connected to the upper control arm.

    the upper control arm connects to the lower control arm through the spindle. and the coil goes to the lower control arm
