Default rear coil spacers

I installed 1.75" daystar coil spacers which I bought from another forum member as a "leveling Kit". Even with the Mopar bumpers it had, it made the jeep sit just about perfectly level. However, after installing the rugged ridge bumpers with tire carrier and a 33" duratrac hanging off the back, I think I may have slight sag on the rear, even if only under acceleration. I'm thinking of adding rear coil spacers and was wondering if I should go with a 1" or 3/4 inch, what brand and where can I get just the rear spacers? I posted last week in the Wanted section but no response.

Northridge (a forum sponsor) carries TF .5" & 1" spacers as an option.

Here's the spacer page.

Give David a call or pm if you have any further questions. He's super helpful.

I like the TF because they've got the thing that sticks down in the center of the spring to keep it from going anywhere if you are articulating a lot. However, since yours is a spacer lift already, you might have to stick to the same brand since you will be stacking them.

I had the same situation after my 5" lift went on... It was pretty much level when the back of the Jeep was empty, but then I put a roof rack on and with the back loaded up with the seat, people or other junk, it sagged just a little. I added 1" rear spacers and it's just right.
