3" coil spacers, 2" what?

[avalenti]

I plan on buying an 08 Frontier King Cab SE I4 this summer. I wanna get the 3" billet aluminum spacers but I don't know what to get for the rear. I don't plan on doing much off-roading, if any, and the modification is purely asthetic-driven (I plan on putting 33's on the stock 16" steel rims.) So, the question is should I get the 2" cast steel blocks and extended u-bolts? Or the adjustable shackle? Or the Deaver leaf kit? Should I be worried about axle wrap? I know the blocks and shackles are slightly easier to install than the leaf kit... Any help?

1)block would be the cheapest and fairly easy to install. since you wouldnt be doing any type of offroad it would be fine. If your an auto you wouldnt need to worry about axle wrap.
2)deavers would be the hardest to install (still pretty easy though) but would be more money.
3)shackles would be more expensive than the blocks as well but the easiest to install...

CHECK OUT MY SIG! I HAVE HAD THIS ON FOR 7 MONTHS AND DO SOME LIGHT OFF ROADING, IT HAS DONE GREAT, AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO INSTALL IN A FEW HOURS, THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SLOW YOU DOWN IS THAT YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY NEED TO GRIND DOWN THE ALIGNING PINS ON THE BLOCKS SO THAT IT SITS FLUSH WITH THE AXLE PLATE.

I talked with PRG (not Greg, but one his workers whose name I didn't catch), and he said that they recommend blocks over shackles because of the increased stress on the leaf packs. He also said that if going over 2" in the back, think about going with bigger shocks.

i would definately go with longer shocks, i didn't at first and they bottom out on extension. i have a set of bilsteins on order now. (2" rear lift)

[RaginRabbi]

So how come there is no package of Spacers-Deavers-Rear Bilsteins? You have to order them online as the Spacer/Deaver Combo, and get the shocks seperately.

[MrEd]

i really thought there was package, i'm in the process of correcting my lift mistakes, so i'm buying parts seperately. i went with Rancho Quicklifts-front, and Rancho rear shocks-(stock length). now on order, Radflo's for PRG UPC's and Bilsteins 2" longer for the rear.
Call Greg, he'll make a package for you.

What's a UPC?
Anyways,
About lunchtime I called and talk to one of Greg's workers (Alex maybe) who suggested looking at leaf springs instead of shackles. So I started placing an order I wondered if there was a CF discount or some way I could get the spacers, deavers and shocks for less than $488, so I called and got the message machine, about 30 min ago. Still waiting a call back to place the order.

UPC is upper control arm, the factory upper control arm is the limiting factor in downward travel. Greg's upper control arms are designed to maximize downward travel so a lifted truck will still have good suspension travel. i coudn't afford all of it at once, so i'll get the UPC's later.

i thought upper control arms were UCA?
