Default Coil spacers to make up for lift sag.

Is adding a 1 inch or more coil spacer and acceptable way of getting your ride height back after adding bumpers and winches? Why or why not.

Maybe I wasnt clear enough at the start. I have a 3.5 inch BDS suspension lift right now on my 2011 JKUR Since installed the lift has sagged to the point that its only 3.0 inches taller than a stock Rubi and I have 35 inch trail grapplers

So 35-32 is 3 inches cut that number in half because of the tire alone I should be 1.5inches taller than means my lift is netting out to be only 1.5 over stock. Is this correct? So can I still use the coil levelers?

Mabey I'm just cunfused, but do you mean with your lift and 35" tires you are only 1.5" taller than a stock rubi? If so that can't be correct! But either way you can still use the pucks to lift it to compensate for the sag.

3 inches taller - with 1.5 inches because of the tire size difference.
