You are going to cost me several thousand dollars!! Hahah. Every time there is a new post on this thread I scroll down and stop on the pictures of your rover! Roof rack, lights, diff and steering guard. OMG. Then I read your signature line!!!!!! Ugh.

Nice setup!

At least I feel no pressure to turn my 2000 into a 2003

 

Charlie glad I could help....

 

David, that's definitely too much lift!! 3" is perfect for a D2, especially when you have good clearance bumpers. You have too much weight up top to have that much lift, trust me, it's scary on some trails

 

ZG may be right... I don't do trails, but I do curbs, and the one next to your truck in the third picture is piteous next to your rover. NICE.

 

Zack, I agree after much debacle.... they are coming off. I am either going to replace my 3in sagging coils with new 3in coils or option 2 :going to add some 4in progressive front coils and add a 1in spacer to 3in coils in the back with longer rear links per advice from Bill at Overtym Fab. Hopefully this will help compensate for the sagging caused by weight. Lesson learned...For the Street this lift looks great, and it handles decent but for Trails here in the Southeast and mountains this will be too dangerous as well as the wheelbase is too narrow now and will cause damage to body...I will say I have never received so much attn. from this Trek when driving it with the too tall lift...everyone stops me to ask about the D2 now. In hindsite I wish I would have just tried 1in spacers.. For sale soon...front and rear 2inch Terrafirma spring spacers

 

If you still want to try another size spacer, like maybe .5" the best bet is to look on eBay for aluminum disks. Measure the width of your spacers. I found lots of places selling aluminum tube or puck or disc...can't remember. As long as you've got the right width, you can find .25" .5" 1" thick...whatever. They are only a few bucks each and all you've gotta do is drill the holes to mount under your springs. I run .5" in front and 1" in back with my 2" HD springs. It works great.

And in the summer when I've got the XL RTT, family of 4 and all our gear (it's a lot of frigging gear) I throw throw those little wacky rubber coil spacer thing that just slide into the coils. They are only for really heavy load. They don't lift the truck up at all but they help with sag and bottoming out. Those things are about $20 each and you can remove and install by simply jacking the truck up a few inches.

 

Yea I am considering this as well. The most economic solution for sure. I see toddco has 1inchers. Anyone know of .5 or .75 sizes?

 

Does anyone know a way to measure how much lift over stock you actually have? I know we are aware of the measurements of what we put on but is there something to measure like axle to frame or something else? I have no idea what my original arch height was because when I bought my Rover in 2000 I had no thought if putting a lift on it.

 

Well I ended up ditching the spacers. My rear shock was maxed out no travel left. It was too stiff for sure. I am waiting on 4in springs and 14 in bilstein rear shocks. Hopefully this gets me what I want...
For sale 2in spacers....
