Finally got my BJ spacers installed...with pics
I have had my ball joint spacers in my backseat for months. Just installed them with one of the front end techs that I work with---
New Procomp shocks and steering stabilizer--no rubbing
My front is now a little taller than the rear with Downey HD coils

I am not sure about the old ifs on 2wd trucks--you will need to contact SDORS and ask.

Looks good. How close are your tires to rubbing the UCA?
As long as you have manual hubs I think the cv's will be ok. If you go with the cv angle much flatter than that then the cv angle gets bad when the wheel is stuffed. Which would you rather have, a bad cv angle with the wheel stuffed and lots of weight and traction or a bad cv angle with the wheel in full droop with little or no weight and traction? Assuming manual hubs are unlocked on the highway of coarse.
Now you get to raise the back too. I just finshed adding 2 leaves to my spring pack to get level again. Here's my latest pic http://community.webshots.com/photo/...58716087gxwnHV

I am running General MT 31x10.5 and I have at least 1/2 inch clearance from the UCA. You also need to realize that the CV angle shown is not on level ground so it may seem more severe.
Here is my before and after shot--

Did the 85s have t-bars? Maybe a picture of your UCA would help.
