Default 3/4" spacer effect on ride & handling

I've had a set of 3/4" front spacers for a while now, but haven't installed them yet. I've been following a lot of the posts on the various lifts and have noticed a lot of people mentioning things like wandering, steering wheel being off center, track bar issues, and alignment problems to name a few. I realize that there seems to be solutions to all of these issues, but I'm wondering now if I'll experience any of these issues with a mere 3/4" lift. I'm hoping that I can just install the spacers and that it will still handle like stock and require no additional modification. What do you guys think? Or better yet, how have the spacers worked out for those of you that have installed them?

I had no issues at all with using one 3/4" spacer. I drove my Jeep like that for a month or two. I now have two spacers on each side for a total of 1.5" and still have no issues. My steering wheel is still center and no other problems have arose.
I will say that things seem to work a little differently on different Jeeps, eventhough they seem to be the same.
You will most likely have no problems, but there is always a small chance you could have to recenter the wheel or something else.

Hey guys. Has anyone tried the new bodylifts availabe from BDS or MORE? With the problems we have with lift kits a body lift might be easier.
