AEV Coil Spacer Question?
Hi Folks,
I've tried searching and can't find quite what I am looking for... Hoping someone wiser than I can provide some guidance!
Current set-up is an 09 Rubi 2dr with a Rough Country 2.5" coil lift & shocks. Due to bigger tires & new rear bumper the rear is now sagging about 1.25" lower than the front.
I have a 2" AEV BB kit sitting in my shop... Is there any reason I can't (or shouldn't) just install the rear portion of this kit to level the Jeep out? I realize the rear would now sit higher than the front but I'm OK with that.
Any (constructive) input is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
André

Spacers work when a spring is supporting the weight OK, but more height is needed. I'd never use a spacer to compensate for a spring that has sagged. Replace the springs. Its the same amount of work and not much more money.
