2" lift

[hvacmrm]

Hello I'm new here and have question about front and rear uca's with 2" strut mount spacers and rear coil spring lay in spacers.
Will my front and rear stock uca"s be okay with this small lift? Also will cv's be okay with this lift.
Thanks...
Any constructive criticism is acceptable

Honest answer ?
A 2/2.5 full spring lift you can get by with stock UCAs
BUT spacer lifts wear out parts almost faster then you can replace them especially if you go cheap and still have stock original springs
I would fully recommend installing a set of JBA UCAs in front , plus new MOOG greaseable LOWER BALL JOINTS two different parts numbers depending on if you have 02-04 or 05-07
That will help you some
Spacers compress the springs more while weak shocks work the springs harder just driving down the road even
One reason I will not touch spacer lifts except to remove them to do a proper spring lift

CVs are fine with a 2 inch lift, I run over 4.5 inches of lift with stock remanned NAPA CVs on the 04

Thanks Tommud,,
Yeah I know the mount spacers are cheap,,, it was a spur of the moment purchase and yes I have greaseable moog lower balls and new moog uca's.
I have rough country 2" extended shocks for real,, one day soon I'll put a real lift on it.. $$$$

Yes I know $$$$
First lift on my 04 after I bought it brand new I saved up 3 months and bought 2 shocks one week, save some more, then set of springs etc
but did full OME lift that i ran over a 100,000 miles then sold it ( the lift ) to go bigger
