I measured the front and rear of my stock sliders to the ground. front was like 17 1/2", rear at 19".

Installed 1.75" poly spacers from Rusty's (invoice shows to be 2" spacers????), the front showed to be 18 1/2", the back at 19"

I put the stock spacers back in (about another 1/2"??), closest spacer to the coils, rather than on top where they were.

The front and rear are both at 19" now, seems level, feels like a Jeep now

Acceptable?

On my 08 I used JKS ACOS and adjusted till I had only about an inch more left to go on them (about 2.5" lift as I recall *without* the stock spacers to get level).

If I buy a teraflex 2 1/2" kit w/coils and shocks yada yada (or whomever I may end up buying), will the Jeep be level measuring the same way???

TIA

 

No takers?

 

When you say stock spacers, are you referring to the isolators that sit atop your coils?

 

Yep, those are the ones, wrong place or ???

 

The order of install for your lift should be from top to bottom

Isolators
Spacers
Coils

You should always have your isolators installed. They are there to absorb road noise and vibrations.

 

The instructions with my spacers have you add the isolator under the spacer, not on top of it.

 

Your spring needs to be sitting on the isolator. Its a spring isolator not a spacer

 

And we're off!!

Mine had no instructions.

Ended up with (and it sounds like you *always* use the isolators somewhere )...

Isolator
Spacer
Coil

 

Spacer above or below isolators???? coil spacer, not isolator spacer...I have daystars and the instruction says "place spacer ontop of coil, then install "....nothing about removing isolators ..
Other brands are different?

 

in order from top to bottom

Spacers
Isolators
Coils

*as always follow the manufacture's instructions.
