ok, like many after having my lift for a while i want more.. on a budget ofcourse. i have teraflex 2.5 inch coil lift now but want a bit more. can i add 1 inch spacers without any additonal mods? will my extended bump stops keep my shocks from over compressing? i have the terafelx shocks that are optional with the kit. will there be any side affects to running the additional inch of lift?

Should be okay I think, might wan to look at adj. track bars, control arms, etc., unless you already have them. Do it, see what you think, don't like it take 'em off.

Something I'm considering is a 1" body lift in addition to my 2.5" TF coil lift. No worries about driveline angles or adjustable arms needed. If you have an automatic, no other mods needed. Manuals require an additional piece for the boot (I think).

Cheap too! $100 or so.

Honest opinion!! I Have 2.5 coil and bought the adj front lowers which I recommend and adj front trackbar.
I also bought rear upper and lower adj control arms, which honestly not needed! For sure the the rear lowers are not needed.
I'm experiencing rear trackbar rubbing rear diff cover and before I installed adj rear coil bottom plates I was rubbing trackbar bracket against rear right coil

2.5 coil I would put front lower control arms, front adj trackbar and rear upper to adjust driveline angle and call it a day!!

I have a 1" spacer up front and 2" in back on top of a 4" lift to compensate for heavy mods. No problems at all, clears 37's easily with no Rubbing.

If you were to do it again would you put in a 6 inch instead of coil spacers
