Have 2" coil lift. Go w/ coil spacers or body lift for another 1 "
Need some advice. I have a 2" coil lift with shocks able to handle 2-5" of lift. Like the ride I'm getting and am running with 35s. Would like another 1 " of clearance, but don't want to change to new coils yet. Advice on which way to go and which would be best for offroad performance? Thanks
I have a similar problem: 2" Rubicon Express BB, though lost over an inch of it in front from the weight of the winch and bumper. Would adding a 1" coil spacer cause any problems since my net gain would still only be 2"? Thanks.

No you'd be fine. Since it was made for 2", Get that inch back! It will only bring everything back to what it was before that winch and bumper. I had a 2" spacer in the front and 1" space on the back when I put the front bumper and winch on. Leveled things out nicely!
I just replaced my 2" lift springs with 3" lift springs from Rusty's and it was worth it to reduce the sagging I had in the back. For 110 bucks for the rear, or 220 total if doing front and rear, can't beat that.

Sometimes a body lift does make sense.. In this case spacers are king though you really need to get the belly up. Plus as I understand it you have coils with no spacers now, correct?
If so you are good to go.
Get the 1" spacers.. forget the body lift. If you wheel at all I would suggest getting the whole Jk up a little instead of just raising the body. And it will look better imo.
