Default 1/2" spacer on top of a 2" spacer question

I know this question has been asked several times, but I wanted to get a more "specific" answer.

I have a 2" BDS BB on my Jeep right now with stock control arms and no cam bolts. I have no spare tire in the back and right now, my rear end is sitting at like 2.5-3" of lift, while the front is around 2" or so. This is with the hard top on. I'm sure it will be even higher with the soft top on.
I already have 2" longer shocks from BDS and brake extension brackets installed.

My question is... Can I stack a 1/2" spacer in the front and keep everything else the same? Or would I have to get new shocks and whatnot?
Also, how difficult is it? I have not done this before.

Yes you can add 1/2".you will have to take the front coils out to do it though. with that being said I would just put 2.5 pucks in or coils. Its not hard to do the lift. After you're finished with the lift just straighten your steering wheel.

x2, I'd sell your 2" and get new 2.5's. More solid.

Thanks all! I should have gone with the 2.5" BB off the bat! At least I know I have room for 35s in the back for sure lol.
