Default 2 Door Jeep JK, 2.5 inch TF Coil Lift plus .75 + daystar coil spacers. Good idea?

I just installed a 2.5 inch TF Coil lift on my 2 dr jk and then added a Rancho Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier. Now my back sags and the front sits slightly, just a little bit higher now. I was wondering if it was safe to add the .75 spacers to the rear. Would the handling suffer? Thanks
Also have another 100# of rock sliders coming in the mail.

You will be fine. TF makes a nice spacer too I actually like it better as it has a spring guide to keep coil in place. get the 1".

Report out how this goes... I have a 2.5 lift on a 4dr and am looking to add weight. I was considering a coil spacer as an option if needed. Was wondering if spacer would have any implications/negatives in terms of performance, driveline, etc. love the set-up I have and don't want to unintentionally create a frankenlift situation.

That is the main issue I have as well I think I will go with a .75 spacer the front sits just barely higher and from terra flex they said their front gives 3 inch and the back gives 2.25 with stock bumpers so I'm thinking with the +.75 it should be okay. I'm guessing the rear which added a net 110# with the rancho bumper and hi jack lift most likely dropped it .25 inches and I like a little rake.

I'm adding 1" spacers to the front and rear of my Teraflex 2.5" coils this weekend. I'll let you know if anything blows up.
