Default RC lift and spacers

I have a RC 2.5 coil lift w/ 35's. I was thinking of adding 3/4 inch spacers, but I don't know if that is too much for the driveshafts. Am I going to need new shafts? I know that I am going to need rear track bar bracket and front adjustable track bar.

I just did the same lift man and know what you are talking about. Are you getting minor rubbing when you turn hard under articulation? Thats the only thing I am experiencing. I am going to end up doing the RC 1.25 BL and call it a day. It's easy and won't affect anything and will clear your tires offroad everywhere. If you do the spacers you could change the strength of your lift and possibly have to mess with Drivetrain and more steering issues. Here is my setup now..

when I installed this kit on my 2-door, I didn't get as much lift as expected so I installed some 3/4" spacers in the front and rear. I've taken it out 3 times since and wheeled it hard with the front disconnected, and no problems so far. I wouldn't think you would have any issues, especially with the 4-door....just keep an eye on the front driveshaft if you have an auto and run disconnected.

yes you can add a coil spacer. RC has a .75 spacer that would be perfect
