Default Lift coils plus spacers??

I currently have the rc 2.5" budget boost lift with exhaust spacers on 2012 jeep jku. I have 34's. Question is I can buy some new 1.5" rock krawler coils. Can I add these ontop of my bb?

We mainly use the jeep for light trail driving and street.

Thanks!

No, but you can add the spacers on top of the coils.

Go to a couple lift mfg's websites and look at all of the components they include (or suggest) for a 4.5" lift to get an idea of how much more money you will be spending. And you will want to set money aside for a driveshaft and a flip.

If you haven't opened the two threads stickied to the top of this modified area, might be some informative reading.

You can to a certain extent. The TF 3 inch kit has spacers added to thier 2.5 inch coils. What you are suggesting I would say not to go this route. You are talking a 4 inch net lift and you'll be unhappy at that hight without all the right lift components to accompany it.

Cool, thanks for the info. The coils were $200 for all four so I thought about it

Why would you not just buy 4" coils? It makes not sense to keep a bb and buy small coils.
