Default Good investment? Suspension galore!

http://toddcosuspensions.com/2cospsulikit1.html

2" Coil suspension spacers... Do they hold up okay?

i just want to throw them on there on my stock shocks and springs to be able to get some bigger tires on... Mostly for looks... once in a while go mudding...Eventually i would want to throw on 2" Springs and Shocks over the coil spacers to get a total of 4" of lift, With that do i need to do anything to the driveshafts or brake lines?

Thanks guys!

Don't use spacers - you are wasting your time. If you want a 4" lift you will need to replace the shafts and other things - very expensive. Stick with a 2" OME or RTE spring lift.

If you can't afford it now then save your money. Get the suspension first and then the tires/wheels later. If you're gonna do it, do it right. If you do it wrong, it'll end up being more expensive in the long run from stuff you have to fix.
