Default Spacers on top of OME HD Lift???

Anyone use spacers to make their OME HD Lift any higher? If so, what would be the max height of spacers to be used without any problems? Also, are the ACOS worth it?

There's a couple guys on here running ACOS on their lifts, don't know what lift though. You may wanna think about all the other stuff you'll need if you plan on going higher. Do you have any adj control arms now?

Oh,ok. Probably would need some front lowers to go with the uppers to better adjust your castor if you go higher. I have 5in of susp lift in the front and 5in in the rear. Jereel ds in front , stocker still in rear and going strong on the 4-dr, I've been lucky enough not to bash it on anything. The reason I say front lowers is to be able to add some wheel base back in the front for better handling. How much lift in the front do you have now after settling? Aren't the Acos pretty expensive?

I run a 3/4" front Skyjacker spacer and a 10mm rear OME spacer and I do have a complete set of adjustable arms.

Default 1 3/4 spacer

I added a 1.75 spacer to offset my ARB/Powerplant combo it rode fine & performed fine in Moab. I have since switched out the front springs to Clayton 4.5s as they are the exact same height as the OME+1.75 spacer.

I have OME HD front springs with 1 3/4 Daystar spacers, MD rear springs with 3/4" spacers. Jeep is has a very slight rake. Will install JKS lower adj control arms in front to correct castor, also installing coast drive shafts front & rear. Jeep is a 08 Rubi Unlimited

For some reson I thought you wanted to go 1.5 - 2in higher, I musta confused this with another thread I was reading at 3am Sorry you shouldn't have any probs with a small spacer.
