damn you BB irish now I am going to have to get a bigger lift hahahaha

I am thinking of putting a 1inch spacer in ontop of my 2.5 TF kit...

I kinda want a little more height... hahah

I was thinking 1'' BL for a while but I havent been able to convince myself to do it... the whole "ugly gap" thing is not really a problem for me since I will have aftermarket rear bumper/tire carrier (you wont see it in the back at all pretty much)

I want to get a little more clearance but I also dont want to spend a lot... I could always just upgrade to 3'' springs but then I am thinking I will end up replacing drive shafts :(

thats one thing I wont have to worry about with a BL

shit... decisions decisions...

Wait... who is going to fund this ongoing project ?!?!

hahahahahahahah

my jeep cost more then any of my ex's !

Well, we have the same lift on the same jeep and my front driveshaft made contact with the tranny pan and ripped off the boot. I'm going to eventually get a new front DS. So you will likely have to do the same at some point anyway.

Do you really need the added lift you'll get to go from the 2.5" coil kit to the 3" kit? Remember, the front spings we have give 3.1" of lift anyway.

The 1" body lift might not be a bad idea. But with 35's and the TF coil lift (which NETTED me 3" up front and 2" in the rear), I'd say that's as far as I'd go with a daily driver.

Just enter the contest for the 5" long arm lift kit and do that! LOL

The 1+ bodylift would give me the extra boost but it wouldn't mess with DS's
but I kinda would rather go with the 3'' springs.

blahhhh 3'' springs will give me like 4 up front 3 in the rear I am thinking since the 2.5 gave me 3 up front and 2 in the rear...

I did enter the contest and I really hope I win... If I do win I will prob give my 2.5'' shocks and springs to someone in need and likely give them the disconnects from the new kit since I wont really need them

I don't think it works that way with the springs. TF makes the front spring of their 2.5" to yield 3.1" of lift in anticipation of the weight of bumpers and winches. I don't have a winch (just Mopar steel bumper) so I got 3". If you go to a 3" spring, I'm not sure how much more you'd get in the front. You'd likely get the added 1" in the rear.

As for the driveshaft, you may need new ones already depending on your specific Jeep. I need a front one. It BARELY touched, but just enough to cause the clamp on the boot to snap. 1/4" or so.
