Default using BB and spacers??????

Is a BB used with a spacer for leveling safe? i want to put a winch bumper on and keep it level. but not ready for the expense of springs.
how does this get installed? any pics?

Alot of people run this setup. They usually put the smaller spacer on top of the BB one. I was going to go this route myself, but I decided to just get hd springs for 150.

Yep...i dont have any pics, but it looks great, exept that I still have the 16" wheels with stock street tires....
I think it is a daystar 3/4", you cant see it on top of the TF BB. It leveled my rig good. For me, 1" would have been too much, but I have a stock bumper and prolly will not have a winch.

I will try to take a pic tonight.....

A SET of front HD springs is $150?..or is that each...and is that oem height coils but stiffer, or HD coils for a 3" SL, to avoid a 2.5" Coil Spacer with a 3/4" Coil Spacer on top of it?

Northridge has 3" HD full tractions for 159 - pair:

and the 3" teraflex ones for 159 - pair:

I was going to order them this week or next week. I m not sure which ones would be my best choice, so I'll probably call and see which ones David recommends.
