Are you thinking about trying to run the Cornbred spacers, the newer ones, on top of the PP coils one day? If the newer designed ones don't hurt the ride quality like someone suggested, I may be adding those one day so I can go bigger.

for now, im sticking to just the PP's.
i found ebay to be the cheapest source for bilsteins... a complete set of 4 goes for 282 shipped... not much cheaper than you found though!

Do a search for my threads when I was in the same position that you are in.

EDIT: Maybe it is because of the length of the front struts, sorry.

When I bought my springs and shocks last year from PP, they cut me a little break b/c I bought double for what is now my wife's 4R(long story). If you can get even one other person to get springs and shocks, they will do better than the 10% discount. At least they did for me.
I believe the springs are specifically made for PP to certain specs and no one else makes them-hence the painful pricetag

rears are the same. but he's probably not into splitting the set.
COrrect me if I'm wrong but the 2wd/4wd difference is an inch of lift. I'm assuming with different p/ns that the difference is in the height of the coil cup on the shock/strut (not the length of the coil)?
(No real reason for asking, just curious)

I did a quick google and found no results (so perf. products may be the only seller).

lee, i was in the same boat as you about a month ago. i ordered the PP springs and billies from PP. The springs were backordered and werent goin to be in for a month. I initially decided to wait it out, but upon further review, i bagged the springs and just got the billies. I then ordered up some cornfed's and got them today. I'm trying to figure out a day when i can put the whole system in. Now i'm assuming the billies which are for a 4wd will work with the spacer kit. I will definately post up some pics as soon as i get the install all done with plenty of before and afters. I've been looking at my MT classic II's for about a month now and can't wait to get it all together.
I don't mean to Hijack, but i've searched and was just wondering if 285/75/16 Revos will fit with a 2.5" cornfed spacer without a bodylift? One will be ordered ASAP if needed. I understand if this isn't answered due to the hijack and i will repost if neccessary.

I think that you will be ok especially since you will be running aftermarket wheels. However, the backspacing will definitely affect how well the 285s will fit and work.

AUJWE, thanks, that thread was very useful. I'm pretty sure i'm goin to get the body lift to be safe. the rims are 3 5/8" backspacing. I really hope this isn't too much. I stupidly ordered them before doing much reasearch. I do have the limited flares so i don't think they will stick out too much and look too stupid, but time will tell. I think they will just rub a little more and full turn. Let me know if you guys think this backspacing is too much and if i will run into too many problems

thanks. i was asking to see if he got them elsewhere, i was aware of that site.
those are pretty reasonably priced actually. i could put those in now, then add the bils in later....
man, despite being confused and having no real direction, this is the most fun ive had on this board in a while
