Default 2 x 3/4' spacers
I now have 2 3/4" spacers on the front. Looks better and not to tall for my 265/75 16 tires.
Looking to get some black wheels next.

No, I did not take any measurements. I already had 1 spacer on, but after the new bumper and winch I wanted another one. I did not have to recenter the steering wheel either. Everything seems to be fine right now. I did not take any pics from the side. I will try and do this in a day or two. It is dark now.

I wish I could get some taller tires, I think it would have a better stance. I am thinking about getting some 16 x 8 Soft eights w/ 5" back spacing. I hope that helps me get the look that I want.

Thank you. Me and my kiddo gave it a bath today too. Just before the pics. Today turned out to be a JK work day. After the soccer game, a kids birthday party and a trip to The Home Depot.

That lift is really such an improvement over the stock look! And Robar, is that an LoD front bumper? It looks great. So how difficult is it to add the 3/4" spacers and where exactly do they fit? Is it a DIY job or do you need special tools?

Yes that is the LoD front bumper. It is not difficult at all to add the spacers. You need the tools to remove the front wheels, some jack stands are handy and a jack and a few had tools most are size 18mm wrench & sockets.

1. Disconnect the sway bar.
2. Jack up the Jeep & put on jack stands.
3. Take wheels off.
4. Disconnect the shocks.
5. Lower the suspension and remove the springs.
6. Put the spacers in above the OEM spacer.
7. Reassemble.

Thanks for your help, it will help me from having to do the job twice if I need two spacers.
If you are only off by .75" then one spacer should be all you need. I was off by a little more than 1" and when I added the bumper and winch it required two spacers.
