2.5" Coil Lift w/ 1" Spacer Lift.. Can I do this?
I currently have the 2.5" TF coil lift with shocks and was thinking I want a little bit more height. Can I add the 1" spacers (front and rear) from TF to this lift to increase my height? If so, what are the pro/cons? anything else I need to do with it?
I will be replacing this spring (as soon as it warms up enough to work under my JK in the front yard) the drag link, tie rod (going currie), Trackbar (TF HD). I currently have in the garage TF quick discos as well. Was thinking while I have all of this apart I might as well add a little more too it.
Any thoughts would help...
Thanks,

1. any issues with driveshaft with that much lift?
2. did you need to extend bumpstops other than what came with your lift kit?
3. any chance you could send me a picture of the spacer on top of the coils?

I have a 1" puck up front with 2.5" coils to compensate for my bumper and winch. Levels it out just right but shouldn't be a problem to do that anyways. Only difference is that you won't' get as much flex as a 3.5" kit will. Make sure you check your shock and brake line length as well. I got longer brake lines when I did the 2.5" lift after my rotors warped because my lines kinked...
Oh and your axles may be a bit more off center if you're using a track bar relocation bracket.

2. depends on how much rub you're getting (depending on tire size and such)

The TF lift I have came, which i believe is the old model, came with 1/2" spacer for the rear.. can I add 1" to this or do these need to be removed first?

I'm running the TF 2.5 coils and the 1inch spacer front and rear in my two door. I also added front LCAs and the trackbar.... Could have lived without them, but I wanted stock ride quality. I will have to replace the rear drive shaft at some point... But not yet!

I am running the same set up on my jku.. no issues, however like one other post stated, front lca's and adj track bar helped bring the ride and handling back to stock. Honestly the only thing i can think of is the puck reducing the max amount of flex you could receive. But how many of us actually compress the springs that far. I know my stops keep me from getting even close to it.
