I'm also very interested in hearing some feedback about these. My ARB, winch and skid plates have definitely cause the front end to sag more than the rear and these spaces seem very nice.

Look forward to reading some real world experiences...ease of install and overall impressions.

I had the Teraflex 2.5 BB with shocks. After I installed my new front bumper and winch I had quite a bit of sag up front. I was going to yank the 2.5" spacers and throw in some coils all around, but I didn't want to be in the same boat because you can never be sure of the spring tension of the springs you install. If I installed new coils all around and the tension wasn't enough, I would still have some sag. So instead I went with the JKS ACOS Adjustable Coil Over Spacers up front only. Everything else in my lift is still the 2.5" TF BB with shocks, except for the front JKS ACOS Adjustable Coil Over Spacers. I love them. Leveled the JK out very nice, and I still have some adjustment up front just incase I add more weight up front. The ride is great as well. It's no harder than the BB install, and all you need to do is the front. Here's a couple of pics of mine and my Rig.

I have them all around. I had a pretty big sag on the right side and it did a great job of taking care of that. Then I upgraded my lift and found out the sag was from the OME springs I was running formerly. I ended up setting the JKS as low as possible which still gives over 1" extra lift all around plus it provides a bit of a rake (which I being in the minority like) as the rears provide 2" of lift at their lowest setting opposed to 1" lift at the front. The thing about the ACOS is to make sure that you really want to do it before actually going for it. It is a permanent mod. You can't go back once you've done it.

SO if you use the ACOS adjustable ACOS spacers all the way around would it be reasonable to do that with the stock control arms without any ill effects on the handling (or do you need all the adjustable control arms etc). I was wondering if these could be used with the Bushwacker flat flares to accomodate 35" tires.

Thanks for the input. But why do you say its a permanent mod? What am i missing there? I'm looking to put on 37"s and new gears along with drive shafts and all the other miscelaneous stuff. I dont want to cut the pinch seams and cant afford a long arm lift yet. So this seems to be a reasonable boost for me.

Nevermind I just read the install instructions. How much (real world) time to install all four?

I did it in an afternoon and I wasn't pushing myself at all. A couple of floor jacks really helped. Don't forget those jack stands!

Default Love them

I have a very low garage, so I got these to allow me to get as much lift as possible without hitting the top of the door. They work great and are easy to adjust.
