Default Spacers on lift

I have a 4 in skyjacker lift with front control arms and the works. I am running 37s on 16 in rims. I want to lift the front about an inch or 2 more to level the front and back. The jeep sets a little to the front and wanted to take that out. I however do not know about putting spacers on top of lift coils. I really would like to hear from people that have this set up. I do not really want to put a body lift on.

there should be no reason it would not work . if your control arms are ajustable and you have good drive shafts. the spacers lifting the jeep higher would not be the isue. i say try it and if you have problems then take them off

I am running 1" spacer to compensate for the weight of my front bumper and winch combo. Works great, no problems or complaints.

I have a 1.25 spacer on top of a 4 inch coil up front, and another one smaller in the back. that works for me . a body lift would no help compensate the rake, as your jeep would be just taller all around.

i have the 4" skyjacker and i just put my 2" skyjacker BB spacer in the front. it sits perfect now. i put the rubber isolator on first then the poly spacer. the spring now rides on the poly spacer. before it just squezed the isolator out. i plan on trying to run the teraflex spacer on the back because it has the long guide in it. i ll try toget pics tomorrow.

once i get the extra dough i want to get the 6" coils for the front so it is right.

My understanding is No more than two.... like a budge boost with one spacer..... or spacer and a spacer is fine....
