Default Larger Spacers

I currently have a 1 3/4 spacer up front and 1" in the back. I did this to level the JK and add some height when I added my front bumper.

I am going to add a rear bumper and now want a bit more height. I want to mess with as few things possible to avoid any possibility of DW.

Can I just swap out my current spacers for say a 2.5" front / 2" rear?? Will I need to add anything else? I dont have a huge need for extreme articulation. Im in NJ so most of my wheeling is pretty mild.

Thanks

No problem at all with that. That is what my rough country spacer lift was exactly. 2.5" front and 2" rear. I did have to extend my rear brake lines though by just straightening the bracket to give a little more slack.

Cool, thanks guys...I like the way the stock ride is and like I said I dont need a whole lot more articulation, I just want to regain my height after front and rear bumpers and make it look a bit better with 33's .

Did you get the kit with the 2.2 shocks?? If so, how is the ride? close to stock??
