P500 Lift kit

Hey guys, iam building a lift kit and not using coil spacers, from the bottom spring mounts ,probably 1 to 1.5",
Will the stock axles be good with that?

No, right front CV / axle will be the limitation.
Stock wheel droop is close to the limit, any bracket lift could make this situation worse.

My thoughts are, adding 1" lift and softening the preload.

Thoughts ?

That right side can be a problem. Jack it up and disconnect upper mount with arms hanging and look over every possible angle on both sides. It's not 'real world' because 'in the woods' extension is more extreme but worth a look. I'd be real careful if you get brave enough to experiment under power. Separate jacks for a-arms to lower incrementally. Build the mounts for the top??? Just thinkin out loud......

I will take that into consideration

As stated, that passenger side front axle has bump at full droop from factory. Try it, jack it up and slowly turn that tire, you'll feel it. Extending it any further is not recommended. Maybe find some aftermarket axles the proper length and go for it.
