Hey guys, new to the board and have a simple question. Just bought a new JK and am wanting to lift it slightly and run 33's. I will probably just do BB but my biggest problem is that they do not compensate for the low front stance. I want the Jeep to be level, not low in the front like a hot rod! What if any kits are there that level it? I spoke with Skyjacker at SEMA and they said that their 3" kit would level it but I am concerned that the aftermarket springs will change the ride. Let me know what you guys think. :confused:

The Jeep just looks that way, like the TJ's. It's caused by the look of the fender flares. If you look at the body line along the bottom it is level. Any lift should lift the front & rear the same amt, so should keep it the same. Not sure of a kit that will "level" it.

 

Hey spye, welcome to JK-Forum! Regarding your question, new and longer aftermarket shocks (which you will need) will effect your ride quality more than new coils. But, having said that, I'm pretty sure that the new Full Traction 2" Econo Lift is supposed to have spacers of slightly different heights in order to compensate for the factory rake.

 

If you're happy with the overall ride height of your wrangler but want to level out the front end... I found this on Quadratec

I was planning on getting those because I can't raise my JK any higher and I wanted to level it out.
Question:
Will you have to have a realignment after installing these spacers?

 

it took 2'' spacers to level my jk,the pics on the 28th.

Your steering wheel will need a hair of adjustment to get it back to center but that's about it.

 

2"? Really that much?? Looking at your pics, your JK does seem to sit level :confused:

 

i was shocked to i got the fultraction 2'' lift and the rear spacers were
made wrong so i am still waiting on them to send me the rear
spacers they were great to deal with on the phone and very
helpfull.it's been 2 weeks though i hope the spacers didn't get
lost in the mail.i am going to put them on sence i have the rear shocks
as well.the jeep sits to level on flat ground i put a level in the roof and it
was dead center.i plan on towing a small popup trailer so i think i need
the lift on the rear.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I like the looks of the 2" spacers on the front, what size tires are on your jeep?
