Really random question..
How much higher would the front end of a D2 sit with the stock rear springs up front? I know it will lift it some, but would it be higher then 2"?

yes...




The reason I'm asking this BTW is because I have rear RTE 3" coils, rear 12" SB 7100's, front 10" SB 7100's, and all the rest of my suspension stuff sitting here in a pile or already on the truck. I waited for a month for RTE to get more front 3" springs back in stock. Today (after a month has gone by) they send me an email saying it will be at least one more month, possibly longer before they have them again. So I really want to get this stuff on my truck with some temporary front springs to correct some issues I'm having in order to attend an event and so on.

So I was wondering how much lift would result from the rear stock springs put in the front maybe with a couple isolators. I'm either going to do that (depending on what you guys tell me) or I'm going to run some D110 front heavy duty front springs which on a friends D1 gave a 2" lift (aka 3" on D2). I know there are at least a couple D2's on here that have, or had the "CB" lift... Like I said this is a temporary setup..

4"ish

it rides waay to harsh though.

I tried it to see what would happen.

get some blue white RRC police spec springs. they are super cheap and give a 3"ish lift. 170ft/lb rides good too.

If you want roberts set up I can pick them up at SAE for you and take them to peacock hill or if you want the 110 springs I can drop those off later.

you don't have those ten billion sets of D110 springs i got for you? i know they aren't all on the green truck...
