Fixed my squatting problem.... and....

I got my Rancho long leaf AAL installed today. The ride is great and it is not squatting, but now it looks like a drag truck. The rear is now about an inch higher than the rear. It was kind of nice driving in the dirt, it felt like there was more control. Now I have to get the front up before I get tires. I know some are for and some are against BJ spacers, but if it is used for looks and weekend play, it should be fine right? Where is the best place to get them?

Thanks

How do I tell which ones I need? I just took it to town, the rear rides and handles great for anyone that has thought about it, the Rancho works good...

depends. the bj spacers give u about an inch and a half, and they increase travel both ways. and they also extend how far u can go with the t-bar crank. personally, id go with the spacers, but it is an extra 100 bucks.

order off 4crawler.com not hard to figure out his site.

dunno. probally. he offers a lot of custom work. but if u go over 1.5 u may end up running into different problems with steering and whatnot. dont take my word for it, just do ur research.

You can always get the 1.5" spacers and turn down your t-bars for added flex and ride comfort.

Thats what I was thinking, I will have to figure it out this weekend. It is like driving a drag car. I can see the front of my hood, kind of weird.
