Installed 2.5" lift, but rear seems low...see pic
This is the Rough Country kit that uses NEW springs and shocks and uses the stock isolators front and rear. The rear is lower than the front vs being level. Thinking I could replace the rear isolators with 1/2 spacers to level it out? Want to see if any of you guys have ran into this issue where you wanted to raise one end a little more to level it out. Also, I assume the spacers TAKE THE PLACE of the isolators vs stacking them? Likely a stupid question, but I had to ask. Thanks fro any feedback....

Not sure what all parts were included in that lift kit, but a winch and front steel bumper should fix it. If not going that route then get some 1/2" or 1" hockey pucks and throw them in there.

This. Most lifts are designed with more lift in the front to accommodate the extra weight typically added to the front, such as heavier bumpers, winch, winch plates, skid plate which yours doesn't have. When that gets added, you can typically expect the front to lower .5 to 1in. If you don't plan on adding that extra weight to the front, then you could add some spacers on top of the rear springs but I don't notice that much difference on yours from the pic.

I can't tell a big difference...like others have already said. Save little weight off the rear by taking hard top off.....problem solved!

Thanks, I plan to eventually do bumpers, but no time soon. I may just throw in some 1/2 spacers for now, easy enough.

Lol, I hear ya!!
Thanks for the comments guys, I think I might be beeing to PICKY about this. Im considering the spacers below, but they don't look any thicker than the stock isolators?
