Default 2" rear spacer

Okay....before I even start, I realize everyone is going to think, "You should've just went with the 2.5 Coil lift or even the 2.5 Budget Boost." Anyway, I recently installed the Teraflex spacer leveling kit, but I am left wanting just a weeeeeee bit more. Has anyone ran a 2" spacer on the rear instead of the 1"? Would there need to be additional mods if I did this or would it just be a bad idea in general?

Question did you get the 2" up front and the 1"rear? If you do a 2" front and rear you will have the rake back.you might need to drop your rear brake lines. You will probably be happier with a 2.5 lift either budget or coil.

Yea, the 2" in front and 1" in rear, but I also replaced 16 front springs with 18 so I think I have a little reverse rake going on. Not much, but enough that I think 1 more inch in the rear would not make a noticeable rake. I probably do need to just go with a 2.5 lift.

Yes you can add in a 2" spacer and out your 1"spacer. You won't need to do anything else.
