Default Skyjacker

Question- I am running a skyjacker lift. I put it on about 6 months ago and was running 315/75/17 ProComp Extreme Mud Terrain on 17x9 Procomp 8179's. Last week I decided that I was putting too many highway miles on them and bought some 35/12.5/17 Procomp Extreme A/T's. They should be the same size but the A/T is taller. My 2.5" lift just doesnt seem high enough anymore. I dont really want (or can afford) to swap the entire lift kit. Has anyone ever added a 3/4" coil sprng spacer to a lift kit? Any Ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance

I "stacked" a 3/4 inch Skyjacker spacer on top of my 2" Skyjacker spacer on the recommendations of several forum members and have had no problems. It's a cheap ,easy fix. Good luck.

Did you stretch the other components to their limits or do you think you could have done a 1" spacer with ease?

I have been running the 4" skyjacker lift and was also curious about upgrading

maybe to a 6" long arm

do they offer a "stage 2 " kit?

what would you add to what I've got or do I need to start all over again?

this is what i have now...

Thanks for the reply. I cant seem to find 3/4" spacer for the rear, only front. Where did you get them?

are they taller because the other ones are worn down?

schpeen-I guess I asked for that...No they were not worn down. Only about 5K miles on them. They are taller, in fact 315/70/17's are not 35's...if they were than they would call them "35's".
the 315/70's are overall diameter 34.9
the 35's are overall diameter 34.7
