Hey guy's I want to set my truck bulldog or others call it the cali-lean.Us country boy's call it bulldog but any way i was wondering if the daystar 2.25" spacer's would affect handling and ride ability.and would it be to much of a lean with my 2" shackles in the rear? i plan on keeping my current size tire's except a mud tire with a 10" wide rim what do yall think about that setup.I also plan on running my pipes out at 45's angled down a bit with 3.5" tips. tell me what yall think.thanx

The thing to watch out for, with spacers is the funky angles that you get on your ball joints, and the rest of your suspension through its travel. They tend to wear things out by making the suspension work differently than it was designed. That's why 2wd lift kits with coils require ne upper control arms, to locate the upper ball joint bact to the stock location relative to the suspension angles.
You can go with a Rough Country 3" spindle lift for pretty cheap that will keep everything kosher, or spend a bit more and go with the CST 4" spindle (like me!). Anything more than that, you will need springs and UCA's.
