coil spacer ?

Whats the biggest coil spacer I can safely run on my 8" rize kit? Ive seen all the way up to 3.5" ones but idk I'm most likely going to go 2.5". Also my front drive shaft will need to be custom built for the right angles is this my only option?Btw I will be running 37's with 2" Wheel spacers and eventually wanna get 22x11 on 40's will they rub?

I wouldn't go bigger than a 2" spacer so you don't max out your drag link angle . You will also want to consider how much adjustment you have in your lower links as far as making caster corrections . On the front drive shaft you will need to lengthen it but more importantly clearance the c v and u joint areas with a grinder . Spin the shaft on the truck and mark the contact points with a silver sharpie and grind away enough material so it spins freely and grind all the square corners around the u joints round . I have over 100,000 miles on my front drive shaft like this and have had zero issues on or off road.

The 40's might rub with the spacers a little on the rear fender area plastic liner . Just cut it off with a razor knife .

FL 6.0 Thanks for the reply what setup are you running on your truck lift/tire? Looks good I was suprised when I put on wheel spacers they hit my front bumper.

In my avatar I am running 13" on 38's with an 18 x 12 wheel . I have since brought it down to 11 in the front 10 in the rear with a home built 4 link , flipped track bar and relocated shock mount and brake lines . I tried out some spacers because I wanted a 14 wide wheel and 40's and mine hit in the back of the tire but I have clearanced the bumper and plastic so it clears .

Did u shim the front bumper or cut it?

I cut it and the valance , but only at the very bottom where the sharp corner sticks into the wheel well.

You have any pics of where u cut it? I cut my front valence already but not the actual bumper I think I might be able to get away without lifting if I cut the bumper a bit. The bumper left some nasty marks on my tires when the wheel spacers were on there.

pm me your cell # and I will send you some pics , I trimmed it a little and curved it up a bit to make it a round surface so if it does make contact the tire rolls on it.
