Default Just lifted my jeep now a driveline question

Hello all!

So today I just installed the BDS 3 inch suspension lift in my 2011 jku sport...

I mistakenly left a 1inch spacer on both front coils! Do I need to pop these out as to not destroy my drive line???

Driving the jk after installin the lift felt fine nothing out of the ordinary.

Im just being precautionary...

Is your jeep auto or manual? If its manual from what i have been told you should be ok. I just installed the rough country 4 inch x series lift on my 2011 jk and have no problems. As far as yours goes if it is an outo i would remove the spacers. If its manual leave them in and keep an eye on it for issues.

I don't think you'll have any issues, at least until you disconnect and go offroad.

Just do it right. Or you may encounter additional problems.

Look at it this way.....if won't be as much of a bitch to get them back in once those spacers are out if there.

I have that kit with 1.25 coil spacers up front. My 4x4 shop added them to level out my 2011 jku auto. Been rolling for 9k on and off road. Everything is fine. Front driveshaft boot is untouched.
