Default Coil Spacers

Hey yall, ive got a quick question. I want to put some 2" spacers on the front of my 2 door X and would like to get rid of the stock rake. From what I understand the rear is about 3/4" higher stock, so ideally i would like to put some 1.25" spacers on the back. However, the only spacers that i have come across are either .75" or 1.75". So my question is if anyone knows of any 1.25" spacers, or which of the other two i should go with. Im afraid that a .75" one would not be enough and i would end up with a dragging arse.

Thanks

I think it would be best to just buy a BB, most of them take out the factory rake. I had a RC BB on mine and it did the trick. Since than I removed it tominstall a 3" BDS lift. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I was thinking about going with the BB but i dont really want to spend a couple hundred bucks when i can buy the spacers themselves for about 35 a set or so. That RC lift does look pretty good though. Do you know what size the spacers were in that kit? I know the front would be a 2.5" but were the rears smaller?

Rock Krawler makes a nice, inexpensive kit, I think it is 1.75 inch front and .75 inch rear.

A BB lift is a BB lift, there isnt much you can screw up...

I have the Zone 2" lift and I have a winch on the front and I barely have any rake. I would have any if I didn't have the winch and the rough country mount.
