Default Anyone added .5 inch or 1 inch spacers with a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift?

I lost some height when I added steel bumpers and a winch. The guys at TF suggested half inch coil spacers on the front and back. Has anyone done this on a 2 door JK?

I was wondering if adding half inch or even 1 inch spacers would be to much for 33s and would also mess up the drive shaft or steering axle.

Feedback please.

I lost a little as well after bumpers with the same lift, but I'm running 37s. I can't imagine 33s would need any more lift.

You have flats and plenty of space in the wheel wells. Think I'd just leave it alone.

Need and want got blurry after ditching perfectly good stock rims .

I'm taking the hardtop off and replacing it with a frameless softtop, that may give some back.

I added TF 1" spacers in the rear. when i first put on my TF 2.5 coils i was nose up due to hardtop and full width steel bumper/tire carrier. I am happy with the spacers. Simple install and does what made to do. If i had to do it over i wouldnt go with TF coils due to how wide their rear springs are. Ive had issues with rubbing.

I also ran 3/4" spacers on my last JK with the TF 2.5 coil kit. My 315's looked a lot better and less stuffed with the spacers installed. I just put them on the frame, followed by the rubber insulators and then the coil.

What you've got going on looks good, I would also leave it alone. More lift = more potential problems, and there isn't even any valid reason to lift it since you have a 2 door your breakover angle is good. You won't gain any usable performance and only invite more issues.

Where are you in N Georgia? I go up to the Blue Ridge/Ellijay area a couple times a year. I really love t up there but every time I go Beasley Knob is closed lol
