So I really don't know alot about working on trucks but I have a 1978 gmc sierra grande. Its rear wheel drive only and as far as I know is as stock as the day it was made, I want a little bit more clearance, the back of the truck has a decent amount of clearance but the front not as much as I'd like. I don't know how acurate it would be but could ya quote me a price on givin it a little bit better clearance in the front? Thanks

@MrGreenMountainHigh The only way to lift the front of that vehicle would be to install lift coils and a ball joint spacer or upper control arm to correct alignment. Any 4 Wheel Parts store can get you a quote and the correct components to get that installed for you.

@4WHEELPARTS Ok thanks, I'll keep that in mind, I have no money and may upgrade before I do that to that old of a truck but thanks

I've used Tuff Country's 2" spacers, and Daystar's 1.5" spacers on my 2 trucks. The Tuff Country spacers worked better; I actually got a full 2" of lift even after they settled in. The Daystar spacers gave 1" of lift after it they settled in.

how much should it cost for installation?

[4WHEELPARTS]

@jwizzledizzle111 It would run about $342 (this can vary depending on the year of the vehicle) and this would include both the installation and alignment.

i heard spacer lifts are dangerous as the put more pressure on the coilover? is this true?

[ewharper]

@XxJamieOvertonxX Since the spacer is on the top of the strut there is no additional load on the springs. Therefore no addional pressure on the coilover.

i put a leveling kit on my 04 f150 it was easy to install and i would reccommend one of these to anyone.

Very informative. Nice job. 33s will fit a stock 4wd F150 though. But 35s will fit it leveled
