I was wondering if T6061 aluminum would be strong enough for the spacers. I have the aluminum and the means of making the spacers - I just want to know how tall the spacers can be and will the T6061 stand up to the abuse. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> Is a 1 in lift all that can be done or can a 1.5 in be done? How does this affect the relationship between the upper and lower control arm? I understand that the amount of lift equals the thickness of the spacer but I do not get how it will give you more articulation or travel. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Maybe I just haven't been paying attention or reading thoroughly. Will it also affect the cv's? I know the angle will be more but I do have manual hubs so they won't be turning all the time. It does sound like a good idea though and definitly would be the cheapest for me. Thanks in advance.
P.S. What about the ride? Will it change?
And my description says stock and I mean stock - nothing done except for some really stiff low-end Rancho shocks that were on there when I bought the truck.
