Help with Spacers w/ 2.5" TF Lift
So I've been running my TF 2.5" Coil/Shock lift for a year and a half or so and feel like I need a little more height. I was looking in to purchasing the 1" TF front and rear spacers and guides. I'm a novelty 4 wheeler, so I'll go up maybe a couple times a year and nothing too extreme (granted we went on a 6/10 in the fall). I am a little unsure if you can run these spacers with the lift I have so here are some questions:
Can these be ran with the lift above?
Will I need to pull off the spacers that came with the lift?
Pros/Cons of doing this?
if I add flat fenders can I get 37's?
Any other comments appreciated..
Thanks.

Spacers came with your 2.5" coil lift? What size? Are they being used to level your jk? (front only, or tall front and short rear?)
Yes, you can add spacers on top of coils, but I wouldn't recommend stacking spacers. So what you do will depend on what you have, or what you need to keep it level. Also, which components do you have? With the extra height, you may want caster correction. Adj trackbars to re-center the axles. Longer links to keep the swaybars level. Longer brakelines. Longer bumpstops. Some type of steering angle correction. Driveshafts. etc. These may or may not be wanted/needed, just depends.

I have this kit from TF http://www.teraflex.biz/2-5-jk-lift-...ocks-4-dr.html which i believe now doesn't include the spacers. I think they're on the rear ( I'll check later today).
These are some of the things I'm trying to figure out. I'm going to be putting on the Currie Steering system, TF HD ADJ trackbar, JKS quick discos, so the I was thinking of adding the spacers at that time.. however if I'm creating bigger problems then I won't..
keep the thoughts coming..
