right now i have dennis's spacers front and rear/eibach coils front and rear/ body lift 1 3/8"/ stock strut up front and es1000 f-150 rear shocks.

i have some tj springs 105aa(not installed) that i wanna install along with the spacers that are for the eibach coils cause the rear is saggin a little and i want more lift. would this be too much?

how much bigger of a spacer can i run up front with the eibach coil to get a little more lift.

Dave how much lift does your lift kit really give 4 or 4.5? i know you have had some versions that have given you different results. and have you thought about a kit to lower the front ifs and maybe move it forward.

its late sorry if i am rambling.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif" alt="" />

my lift comes to 4" exactly, according to one of my customers here on the board. a previous customer stated it was 4.5-ish, but i corrected that with the coil maker.

7" in the fender is not bad, that's about what i had, if i remember correctly, with 4" suspension and 1.5" body lift running 32" mud kings.

one more thing- it's not really about fender clearance.... it's about how much the suspension will move, specifically, in order to keep the vehicle as level as possible and allow it to keep as many tires on the ground as possible, especially due to the lack of traction device choices for the Sportage.
