Default Is this a good lift?

Hey,

So after a lot of research I have read that in the 4 years I have owned my jeep with 75,000 Miles on it, it is unlikely my springs are anywhere near the end of their life cycle.

I'd say now days I do about 90% on road driving and 10% offroad. Looking to increase the performance of the stock (red) rubi shocks mainly on road.

Can you guys help to confirm this set up will work??

I just bought 33x11.5xR17 Duratracs. I want to do a lift under 2 inches to give them more clearance and a bit of play. I think I have decided on this:

1.75" front & Rear coil spacers (Brand is Synergy) because it's just a spacer I am looking for the cheapest option
1.5-3.5" Bilstein 5100s Front
2.0" Bilstein 5100s Rear

If you want a really nice shock that is the best deal out there check out rancho 5000X's. Had them and replaced them with 5100's and the 5000x's is easily a good of shock.

You will get a bunch of different options on shocks. I have the 5100s. They are nice. Way better than my stock Rubi shocks that wore completely out before the 30,000 mile mark.

Spacer lifts are spacer lifts it should serve you well.

Happy Jeeping!

What have you heard about long shocks and short links?

Anyone know where to find cheap coil spacers, that you won't get destroyed on shipping in Canada?
