Default Wife Killed plans!

ok the wife shot down plans on the TF 3in with full control arms. so i have to go simple till next year. my question is, are the spacer kitts a worth while thing. i've been looking at the day star 1.75 with a 1in BL. as well as the TF 2.5 BB spacer kit.

any other ideas or advise would be great. unfortunately my 1 year old is taking this years income taxes! But he's worth it.

From my understanding the TF and OME BB are good quality. If you have plans to upgrade in the future but just cant afford it now then that might be the way to go. I personbaly rant the Daystar 1.75 front and 1 rear spacers for awhile and was pleased with them, took about 45 min to install, leveled the JK out nicley and made a noticable difference. Oh yeah, the price was right too!

See if you can penny pinch a little while and get a Rough Country 2.5" coil lift, they are pretty cheap right now. Then you can upgrade later and sell the RC. I think they are still $329 with shocks...

Default if it were only

if it were only that easy to trade the wife. she gave me a beutifull baby boy, so it'd a little hard to trade. besides next year the jeeps going to grow-up. i think i'm just going to go with the Day Star setup. just need to know what the cons are to just doing spacer lift as for spring?

Default No BL

IMHO I'd nix the body lift - keep your CG low as possible
