I have been lookin at a 2 inch lift kit from toytec and its a add a leafs in the back and a spacers in the front for $239. If I was to do it, will I have steering problems later down the road?

 

No.

 

Spacers in the front as in ball joint spacers?
if so, youll need a alignment after you install em

 

could i do it myself at my house? yes ball joint spacers.

 

Install the 2" lift. Yes.

Alignment. Probably not.

 

depending on what kind of add-a-leafs they use your leaf packs might get worn out.

Mine are turning into a M shape... after bout 2 years of running a poocomp short style add-a-leaf (including a few intense wheelin trips!)

 

so get it? or would you get something different is you were doing it to your truck?

 

really?

 

what to ball joint spacers really do?

 

THey are installed above the upper balljoints, they lower the spindle and lower control arm 1.5" (or however tall the spacer is).

This allows for added travel, clearance and ride comfort without really doing much.

for the rear I would put new springs in, but its not cheap.

A long style add-a-leaf would be okay.

 

why does it not mess up the steering?

 

It does mess up steering. BJ spacers will push the lower arm down without affecting the upper arm, causing the lower arm to pull the lower BJ inwards, pulling your camber towards positive, and will also effect your caster and toe, as well as affecting how your camber, toe and caster all change as a wheel cycles from full extension to compression and back.
And for the 'kicker', BJ spacers will make your vehicle ride higher but will not keep the suspension from compressing any more than it did before... so if a 31" tire rubbed w/o the spacers, it might clear with them but a hard bump will make them rub as if the BJ spacer wasn't there.
