Ok here is my dilema........ I put an offroad bumper and winch on my 4dr jk rubicon and now my nose is 2 inches lower and it looks like my ass end in up in the air........ with that being said, with my clearance loss I keep knocking my flares loose when off roading.

I probably wont do a tire change and lift untill this fall or spring ( probably 4" lift with 35's), so what are my options for leveling my rig out , I measured and my nose is down 2", I was thinking about 2" coil spacers but will that mess with my auto disconnect sway bar?

Also if 2" coil spacers will work are they the same as the TJ'S?

If not does any one know where I can get 2" front coil spacers for a JK?

Forgive my Newbness............


Any links and pics would be helpfull

2 inch spacers would work. You may have to buy a 2in kit though. I don't think that I've seen any that you could buy just front or rear. You could also try 2" lift springs. There was someone on here with the same problem and he put Skyjacker lift springs on the front only, leaving factory rears. By the way, your discos should be fine.

You could stack 2 3/4" skyjacker coil spacers together and it would help to level you out. This is a cheap and easy fix until you get the lift, and you might still need them with the lift to keep it level. .02

Sent you a PM about some daystar 1.75" spacers and bump stop extensions that I would sell. BTW, make sure you use bump stop extensions. Flexing with all that weight would over compress your coils.
