OK so I have a 2010 JKU Rubicon with a 4" Skyjacker lift system, Rugged Ridge Front and Rear bumpers plus tire carrier, Warn 9k winch, Custom Rock Sliders, Bestop NX Frameless top, hard top, PIAA 85watt fog lights, hood mount HiLift, AEV Snorkel, Bushwacker flat flares, and procomp X Alloy wheels with 315/70R17 Goodyear Duratrac tires.... So I want some more lift... Nothing too extreme just a coil spacer kit but dunno what size to get it was thinking 1" - 2" so what size do u all think I should go with? And I'm trying to save $$$$ at the same time, so who thinks I can get away with leaving my current shocks on there for a lil longer before I put bigger ones in.... Thanks in advance for any help!

HAPPY JEEPIN EVERYONE!

 

I'd say an inch is still cool to keep your current shocks. I'm actually thinking of doing the same in Spring

 

Story of our lives right.... Always want another couple inches ... Lol

 

I didn't think that it was a good idea to add spacers to that tall of a lift. I know buying new springs would cost a little more. But if this is what you want?

 

Just a thought but couldn't you get shock extensions and go up higher with out changing shocks out.

 

the 4" Skyjacker is great! and I was thinking aobut doing the Same thing!!

 

I guess it depends on your reason for more lift. If you are looking for additional lift to make up for what was lost do to weight/sag then it should n't be a big deal. A 1" spacer will make up for what you lost with out affecting any of your geometry.
If your just looking to get higher and add more height to an existing 4" kit...I think you are opening a can of worms and will have issues with steering geometry, drivelines, shock length etc....

Just my .02 cents

 

U make a very solid point but I just wanna compensate for the sag that's why I originally said 1" but figured I'd throw 2" in there too and get some feedback.... Thanks everyone... Think it's only going up an inch

 

Same here ... Get back what was lost with sag

 

I'm thinking an inch is our best bet
