Default Anybody else here running 2 sets of 3/4" Spacers?

I ordered 2 sets of 3/4" spacers on saturday from 4wd.com, and they should be here teus or wed. After reading usmc's thread on 2 sets of spacers I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered 2. Well today I finally got outside and did some measuring and the jeep and the front barely sits 1 inch lower than the rear, going by the bottom of the body weld line. Was wondering if anybody else has installed 2 sets? If so, coul you snap a side shot on level ground ? Would be even better if you were running some 285 75 16's :-)

If you measure on frame to the ground just behind the control arm bracket(front & rear) and get the difference there. "Wayoflife" had me do this after using 2
3/4" spacers & front was still off by 3/4". but still looks level. I was 14" in rear & 13 1/4" front from frame to ground.

While i've got you on here

The shocks you bought were for a 2.5" lift right? just wondering if you're worried about "drop-out" from hyperextention....

And, those rock-rails.. they mount to the frame right? If so, I'll probably hold out for a set of those, i like'em

He set the order up & sent them, don't really no whether their for a 2 1/2" lift. The Rock Rail's are very strong ,,frame mounted.

Tell your buddies at Skidrow-offroad they need another person to test some rails out, I need some and am too scared to take it offroad until I get some protection down there....

The shocks were a piece a cake to install,...live by my air tool's,......I'll tell Eric that you wanta be a another JK Donor . I'm waiting for the Engine Skid to be completed and on my JK it goes....already made the prototype, it's cool to design, fab, and then just bolt it on.
