My question for you guys is this: If i were to put in 2 or 3 inch spacers on my 02 2wd dak, how much would the ride be affected? What about simply putting 2 inch coils in? I would like to think that somehow i could find coils that would be simply longer, but still have the same ride as stock, i dont really want a body lift, i prefer suspension, but since i am soo picky i am trying to find something with the least affect on ride, plus without making my lowere arms hang donw too far looking like a stupid i-beamed ranger. any help would be appreciated.

Well, their company is WELL known.....for their low quality products. If you take a look around the forum, u'll see TONS of posts about peeps buying their products and the parts falling apart. I, on my own experience, had the same problem with shackles. My off road shop near my home even told me NEVER buy from them. Yes, some of their products are ok, but from what im hearing, they simply aren't worth ur money. i would suggest u take those parts to an off road shop and have them inspect them before u install.

A couple years back I bought 3" lift spindles for my 2wd full size chevy..first off,I had to change my front rotors,pads,calipers, and master cylinder so they would fit.They never told me this.After all that, I was driving down the road,everything was fine until I made a turn,then I tried to stop and ran through a stop light (the brke pedal went to the floor)Went back home (slowly) bled the brakes, was okay until I turned again. Upon further inspection, I found that when the wheel was turned close to full lock,the caliper (now, since it is mounted lower with the new spindles) was being "pressed" against the lower control arm causing the brake piston to be pushed back into the bore.The solution was to grind the lower control arm to clear the caliper (scary) When I called them they say they never heard of that????????Impossible,this was a MAJOR design flaw in the lift spindle,I probably could have sued them if I had got into an accident.They wouldn't take the spindles back either because I had already installed them,even though their product was designed improperly!!!!!!
