Default Coil spacer recommendations...

Hey fellas,

Just wondering if anyone could recommend some good, high quality yet affordable coil spacers.

I need 1.5" spacers for the front and 2" spacers for the rear to level my Jeep out. Prefer spacers from the same company if possible.

I have an 09 JK 2-door if it makes a difference.

Thanks

I put a quadratec 1.75 kit on mine and was perfect and at 120.00 you can't beat it and only had to adjust the drag link half turn.

Is your rear .5" lower than the front as it sits now? Do you already have any kind of lift on it already?

I can steer you away from some really crappy ones. Don't buy teraflex! I had 2 of their spacers disintegrate on my rig and I've seen this same issue posted by others. Their spacers are made of water soluble cheese whiz or something

Typically you want the reverse of that. The front usually gets a half inch to an inch more to level out.

So far I'm having good luck with my Rough Country spacers. They are metal.

OP, I think you are backwards on measurements. I think you want 2" in front and 1.75" in rear to level.

I went with the Rough Country Steel Spacer lift. I got 2.5" up front and 1.75" in rear which did level my jeep out nicely. I have been VERY happy with this lift and install was easy peasy. I had to take the front spacers out last weekend to install TF Bump Stop extenders in the front (I highly recommend doing it when you install the lift in the first place, I skipped and the rid and "slam down" of the front was terrible) and when I took the front RC steel spacers out, they looked brand new.

The ride quality stayed close to stock, but I got a much needed lift to fit my 35's.

The price on the RC is very affordable, and this is one time where I bought a lower priced item and am happy with the product and outcome.

Rough Country worked fine for me when I ran them. My stock springs started sagging badly though so I ended up having to put new springs.
