Default body lift

Im currently running a 4" Superlift suspension lift and recently added rear bumper w/ tire carrier and front bumper. The weight of both bumpers dropped the jk about an inch to an inch and a half. I was looking at the BDS 2" coil spacers. My question is, Is this the best way to go and if I go this route, would i have to change anything else? If there is any other recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. thanks

Yout title said bodylift, coil spacers go on top your springs, lots of mods to be done if you do that. A 2in body lift doesn't affect your susp, only raises your body off the frame, you would be good to go with that.

I think the only prob you would have with the body lift is the gap between your bumpers and frame, kinda ugly but with a little aluminum fabbing even painting the pinch seam in the rear would make it look better. I think the bds bumper re-locate brackets only work with the stock bumper. You could probably get away with a 1in coil spacer in frt and rear coils and a 1in Body lift, IMO, that would be better.
