I bought the RC 3.25 lift which is 2.5 inch coils and .75 inch spcers. I have a 2 door, 6 speed, with winch and heavy front bumper. I had planned on just using the front spacer when I install the lift and leave off the rear spacer. My thinking was that the .75 wold compensate for the winch and bumper.

I am now starting to doubt myself and wonder if I should just put the front and rear spacers on. My understanding is that the RC coil lift in the rear is around 2 inches actually so with a .75 spacer I should still be under or around 3 inches. Is this correc? Will this give me rear driveshaft issues? Should I put both front and rear spacers on or go with the original plan of just the front spacer? I will be running the stock rubi tires until next year.

Is it possible that the .75 spacer in the front will be too much and give my JK a nose high stance?


Any opinions or advice greatly appreciated.

 

i did the same and and it will sit level (2.5" rc coil lift w/.75" front) i have highrock frt bumper w/ warn winch

 

I will say that my winch and winch bumper sagged my front end down by about .75"......so sounds good to me. And if for some reason you want to put the rear spacer in later it's easy to do later.

 

I have the rc 2.5" coils. I removed the stock spacer in the back and put in a 1" teraflext isolator/coils spring retainer. The 1" spacer is only about 1/4" thicker than the OE rubber spacer. I don't have a spacer up front, thought I would need one after putting on the heavy bumper and winch, but it only dropped the nose down less than 1/4". Couldn't even tell without the tape measure. Now its sitting damn near perfectly level.
Put the spacer on the back because when I first had it on, I had a nose UP rake, put on the tf spacer and dropped in the winch and its perfect.
But my bumper I think is about 70lbs, I know there are some that are a lot heavier, so the results could be different

 

Hey JMP8562, is a WAREN winch related to WARN? Hahaha look at ur sig

 

If I were to put the rear spacer in, do you guys think I would have problems with rear drive shaft?
