Default Stacking Coil Spacers

I have the Full Traction 3" premium lift on my Rubicon. Because of add-ons the front sits quite a bit lower than the back. I measured from the ground up to the fender in the middle of the wheels and there is a 2" difference front to back.

I did a search and I found that a number of you were talking about stacking two sets of spacers, but I didn't find anything on anyone that had actually done it. Also a couple of folks mentioned that the manufactures said there shouldn't be a problem with doing this.

I was about to order two sets of the Skyjacker 3/4" spacers but decided I'd call them before finishing the order. The rep on the phone said they do not recommend stacking the spacers.

Any suggestions on how to get back 1.5" to 2"?

Your best bet would probably be to buy a 1.5 to 2" budget boost and just use the front spacers out of the kit.

That could certainly work. I'll probably try to contact some of the lift companies first and see if they will sell me spacers without the rest of the kit.

My only concern is that the kits seem to be at least 2". I haven't replaced the rear bumper yet and a 2" spacer would theoretically make it sit level, a new rear bumper would then cause the back to be too low.

Maybe I should see how much the weight of a replacement bumper is and how much it will drop the rear.
