Default 2.5 Skyjacker / leveling

All,

I have a quick question. Soon I am going to be installing a 2.5" Skyjacker lift kit. Will this kit also level off my JK, or should I add a front body spacer or other leveling kit to achieve that?

Thanks Much!

the front coils should should substitute for the rake as they should be stiffer then the rear coils, but if you add a front bumper or winche you may need to add an " spacer.

i would call skyjackker and confirm

I have a 2.5" Skyjacker and also did a 3/4" spacer on the front because I was adding a LoD Stubby and winch. It sits perfectly even now with the bumper and winch. It looked pretty even before, the front may have been 1/4" high. I will try to post a pic later.

Here is a few pics of my Skyjacker 2.5" with a 3/4" spacer up front. Hopefully this will give you an idea.

Thanks All. I have a solid hyline front bumper, guard and winch which added to the original sagging on the front. I think an additional 1/2-3/4" spacer in the front will do the trick!
