Default Need another 1/2" of lift on the front

Hoping for some suggestions. I currently have 1 3/4" Daystar coil spacers. My front still sits about 1/2 to 3/4 inches lower than the rear.

Anything I can do to lift it 1/2 to 3/4 more in the front without removing the existing spacers? FYI..I already have the factory isolators in the front.

Can the daystar 3/4" spacers be added? Trying to avoid spending the money right now on new springs

You can try to score some used springs (could be less than $50).

You can buy some 2.5" front spacers (about $60).

You can stack spacers, by adding a 3/4" spacer on top of what you have (about $40).

You can buy a pair of new springs (about $150).

If you had a 2-door you could have added factory 4-door springs to the front plus the spacers (about $30).

Other than adding height to your front end the only other option is reducing the weight up there. Stiffer (or gas charged) shocks wouldn't add measurable ride height.

Good luck!

BKGM thanks for the suggestions. This is exactly what I was looking for. If it is possiblel to stack the 3/4" inch spacer on then that is probably the route I will take. Ya, the XRC bumper and 8k winch don't help.
