Default Lift and Spacers

This may have been answered in another thread but I can't find my answer. I am running 35 KM2"s with a TeraFlex 3" lift. Can i put 1" spacers in? and how will it effect my drive shaft? or any other geometry in the front end? Thanks

I asked the same question...I even asked If I could run a 4" spring in the front to get rid of the rake and I was told it was ok and that I shouldn't have any trouble and I have a 2 door....so with that said go for it.

FWIW... I have the TF 2.5" coil lift and added a 3/4" spacer up front for the rake. No probs at all. If you had a 2 dr, I might caution you on the driveshaft, but not on the 4 dr. Dont forget to see if you brake lines can handle the extra stretch.

I have a 2 door with a 4.5" SkyJacker full flex lift. I have no issues at all.

Wow, you 2 dr guys are proveing the normal concenus wrong. All I've ever heard was, "4 or more inches needs drivetrain mods." Glad to hear real-world testing is more accurate than web reading.
