Default Rear Coil Spring Arch Fix & Puck Lift?

Does anyone know if there is a company that makes a puck kit that offers up an inch to 1.5" lift, as well as fixes the rear coil spring arch? I found out from another forum that there are pucks that fix the rear coil spring arch, so why not sell something that incorporates a little more lift as well?

If this kit isn't available (I can't seem to find it) what does everyone think about ordering 2" pucks then cutting the rears to the appropriate angle, then cutting the fronts down to net the same lift? I'm basically wanting to kill two birds with one stone.

I'm with you. Never liked that either on coil lifts. Haven't tried the correction pucks. Should help. Looks like the right thing to do is cut off the brackets and reattach them in the correct position. Anybody tried this?

Rock Krawler makes one. You can find them on their website or Quafratec.

At what point or size lift does coil arch occur? If you put a 1" spacer in the rear, does coil arch occur?

Best thing to do is relo the spring seats on the axle(I bought new ones from Poly). Measure the deg on the flange on the transfer case. Then set the flange on diff 2 deg down(some like them the same angle). Once that is set, set the new seats 3-5 deg tilted forward. Weld um on and be done with it..

Sounds like the right way to do it. Thanks for the info.

Is your Jeep set up this way? If so, next time I'm out in Ca I may have to look around your Jeep for ideas.
