Default Lift Question

Hey guys i have a quick question. I have an 07 Rubicon and i put a basic 4" rough country coil lift on it. im running 35's and i just recently put front and rear smitybilt xrc bumpers (which are quite heavy) and im wondering if im able to run 1" or maybe 2" spacers without it hurting anything like the driveshafts and stuff like that?

agree with Ludski. The front DS on a 4 dr is vulnerable at 3.5" to 4" or more of lift. I have a Coast 1310 front DS and 2.5" SL with Teraflex leveling kit that equals out to about 3.5" lift all around after my bumpers and winch sag it an inch or so. Do a better front DS at minimum before adding anymore height.

How much did your springs sag? I have heard rc springs are notorious to sag fairly quickly. Take some measurements and go from there. Chances are you still have plenty of room for 35's

yeah ive seen some sag before i put the bumpers on more on the rear than the front and i dont even have the spare tires on yet. if i was to replace the coils could i use ones from a different brand of lift like teraflex or skyjacker
