see if you can find a picture first...I have seen some w/o the 1.5' and they look a tad funny as the tires are tucked inside the fenders too much... in my opinion of course

The 3/4" spacers in the link are poly spring spacers to raise the front of your Jeep 3/4". The 1.5" spacers being referred to are wheel spacers to space your wheels out after going to larger tires. Tereaflex also offers 1" wheel spacers, but I don't know if they are available yet.

gotcha...I assume this is to get rid of the rake I have read several people speak of? Should this be done at the same time as puting on a lift? ...Teraflex 2.5 BB

Newbie question to mods here.....the 3/4" spacer in the link......does that just go in the front springs? Is it hard to put on/in?

Installing the 3/4" spacers is pretty simple.
1. Lift the vehicle and support the frame.
2. Remove the tires/wheels and lower the axle.
3. Unbolt the lower shock mounts to lower axle further.
4. Remove springs and install spacers.
5. Reinstall in reverse order.

When doing the Teraflex 2.5" budget boost, you could reinstall the factory rubber spring isolators up front and leave them off in the rear to level it out some. I would try that before adding more up front.
