Help with spacers and lift ???
So I have a 4 inch lift on right now and have the LOD bumper on the rear with tire carrier. As most know bumper is pretty heavy so it lowered a bit of my jeep of course. So my question is I wanted to put 1.5 inches more in front with spacers and 2 in the back. Can I do that? Also would I have to change my shocks out that came with my 4 inch lift then?
Yes you can add spacers, but thats where I disagree with the prior post you will need longer shocks. i know that bumper did not lower your jeep 2 inches. so with 4 plus 2 your going to need shocks.
I based my answer on thinking that from his profile that his jeep is on road most of the time and would be a waste of money to swap out the shocks. If for some reason you are a hard core off roader with that profile then you might want some longer shocks, but you could do a full flex test to be sure.
If you cant afford to build it right save the money to do it. the cool factor is not worth it.
Shock length isn't the only consideration. Are your brake lines long enough? Adj links on both ends to keep the swaybars level? Adj ca's to set the caster? (guessing that your Cams won't adjust any further?) Adj trackbars to recenter both axles? (you have a bracket in the rear?) Money for new driveshafts? (and rear upper arms for the new rear shaft)

I should of caught this.... but i was not thinking.
