Default stacking spacers

Is it possible to add .75" spacers to TF leveling kit? I am looking for just under 3" lift and will be running 33's. I want to see if this is safe or not recommended. Thanks.

I would just go with a different spring. You might find a set of used Rubicon springs to give you a little extra lift.

I'm not so sure you need more lift than the TF provides to run 33"
I've got the leveling kit and am planning to go to 33" tires when I burn off the stock rubber, and everything that I've read indicates that it won't require anything more in the way of lift.

Thanks for the info. I already have rubi springs and shocks, just trying to plan my next move. Looks like 2.5 coil lift might be what I need. How is the TF 2.5 ride compared to what I have now on the surface streets?

X2 do not stack spacers. Just get new coils.

Not true.

Teraflex leveling kit has you stack spacers.

If you retain your factory isolaters and run a BB, you are stacking spacers essentially. There is a limit as to how big of a spacer you can go, but I'm not sure what that is.
