modifying 12" lift

[blackbullet]

well i was hopin that i could just put a coil over on front, and bigger springs/blocks in the back. if its going to cost me a whole lot i'll just either forget about it or get a whole new 16" kit. ya its a rize with coil over on front 8" springs with 4" blocks in the back.

your Rize 4-link will probably allow you room to adjust for the caster change. The 4-links I have seen are adjustable. Rear hangers are where the leafs in rear mount to frame, increase the length of the hanger (some call them shackles I think) and you lift the vehicle.
I love your setup now BTW, looks sweet.

let me know if you replace your front coilovers, would like to buy them if you do.

Hangars are usually the spring mounts in the front of the leaf, and shackles are usually the mounts for the back of the leaf I think.

You could put longer coillovers in the front if the Rize four links allow the adjustment needed, I dont know how much they will compensate for with longer coilovers. And yes longer shackles in the rear will raise the vehicle. Could also lower the front perch hanger of the leaf spring.

I believe that is where the adjustment in the 4-link helps. Not entirely sure to be honest though, would give Rize a call and tell them your plans, bet they could tell u everything u need.

well i had planned on putting the longer coil overs in front, but was just curious about the tire movement. i had a 8" or 8 1/2 sky jacker before, and we had to put a leveling kit to make it work with the tires and offset i had on the rims. it moved the tire back a little i noticed tho so i was kind of curious about that

It might move them back a little. Try looking up Deaver Springs they might be able to get u a set of longer leafs with more arch to eliminate blocks and long shackles.

we will find out if i even keep the truck tho, im having problems with it rite now, and ford said they mite not warranty it. if they dont im probably going to take the lift off and trade it in on something new
