Coil Spring Question

[2005_x5]

Both of the y'alls X5s look good that's the route I'm looking to go but i would like to put 33x12.5r20 if it will work I think with a 2'' lift it would fit but we will see.

Currently looking to do the same, will be stopping by bmw to measure the stock springs and then going to 4 wheel parts so see if they have something larger that will work.

literally just made a post about this in suspension section - i dont have rear air either and figure just a taller spring would do the trick.

the fronts i keep hearing are super easy - just a spacer and i have a CNC router at my shop - Never Done Design House - and i can cut aluminum.

can someone post pics of the spacers they have made?

perhaps with some collective resource we can put together a good "kit"

my build in the works - ive since added the skid plate and modified the bumper even further...
id love to get 1.5-2" of lift

thanks! thats what i pictured - eager to hear what you find out on the spring thing.

The problem you have with the rear springs is the pocket they sit in in the body, you cant get a compressor in there to squeeze the spring in there or you could dismantle the rear suspension, and then try and squish it all back together..or another option is drop the rear subframe and squeeze it all back together. I'm working on another way, but havent had time to see it through because i'm knee deep in rebuilding the s14 in my e30 m3.....
