Default differences?

what is the difference between a 1" body lift and a 1" spacer. Which do you guys think is better to put on a 2.5" TF lift?

Body lift you wont have to start worrying about drive shaft angles. Spacer you might. 3.5" of lift is borderline by everything I have read on here. Others will chime in...

The spacer raises your Jeep via the suspension. The body lift will not have any affect on your suspension.

If u already have the 2.5 on, just do the 1" body lift, it will sit really nice and clear 35s pretty easy

I'm not a fan of body lifts. They create a weird gap between the body and the bumpers.
