so hey i havent posted much . but would like to ask about this .. im useing rustys 4.5 lift on 31's . ive added a winch and the front has droped a bit . im wondering if this would level things back up .? and what size would be recominded? i was looking at 1.75 spacer .would doing bumpstops at the same time be a good thing also or could i just trim fenders? Also when i had the alignment done ,this was before the winch and bumper where instaled .since ill be going back to close to the same height as it was before the winch .how much would this efect the alignment? thanks for the help.. oh i was looking at this

Buy it and install it! If you don't like it then sell it and get stiffer coils... Also if you just leveling out then you shouldn't have any track bar issues or anything else..

just my .02

They are pricey but the ACOS (?) Adjustables are great for this. They are adjustable so you can tune as your coils age.

I bought a set of the ACOS and I've been pleased. They went in fairly easy and I look forward to the adjustability as I install a new lift and winch/bumber combo

Did you have to compress your coil springs, or were you able to disconnect the sway bar and get enough room that way?

If you cant get enough room by dico the sway bar another way is to take off the LCA on both sides and possibly the track bar too. I dont like spring compressors so i dont use them. I have seen them fail and its not pretty

I used a spring compressor. It's a little scary but I figured I'd go for that right off the bat to keep it simple.
