adding a 1inch spacer to a 2.5 coil lift

I have this set up, with 1 inch spacers front and rear, and i haven't had any issues. I also added control arms and track bars. My stock drive shafts are failing but i have new ones arriving this week.

How did the controls arms and track bars improve the ride ? Do u think that is was the extra inch that pushed u over the edge for drive shafts ?

I have RC 2.5 inch coils front and rear with the RC 2.2 shocks on my 2 door. I added a 1.75 inch spacer up front and a one inch spacer in the rear plus coil correction wedges. I ahve very heavy bumper and winch. I have an adj front track bar and rear bracket. No issues except rear DS which I replaced with toms woods.

It rides almost as well as it did off the show room floor (other than the ratcheting noise coming from the drive shafts) The adjustable control arms really allow you to dial in the alignment. If you look on the write-ups thread i believe there is a good alignment thread. I do think i was the extra inch that pushed it over the top. Other people have run 2.5 inch lifts with no issues, but everyones jeep is different.

2.5 inch lift with 1 inch front spacers is what im running so farno issues with drive shafts but brake lines would get to tight on flex for my comfort so installed crown lines no issue with this setup so far. also have sway bar links and rear track bar brace. havent got to the front track bar yet but will soon just for strength.
