Default Can you put coil spacers.......

can you put coil spacers over a 4 inch superlift kit. I was thinking of going with
1 3/4 inch spacers in the front and 1 inch spacers in the rear to take care of the front rake.

I am running 37inch tires now, will I be able to fit 38 inch tires on my jeep if I go with the new coil spacers. I dont have any rubbing issues now with the 37 inch tires.

You could put the coil spacers on, there wouldnt be any difference in instilation as compared to a stock JK. My concern is that already having 4" coils then adding the spacers your control arms are going to be at a dangerous angle. I would consider a long arm kit or at least adjustable control arms before you go that route.

All being said if you already have the arms taken car of there should be no issues.

I put my 1 3/4 spacers on the rear only. No issues as of yet after 6000 miles. I'm thinkin of a 1in in the frt to get it pefectly level, I was nose high after the 4in superlift.

You could definately fit 38's or 40's with a little trimming and flat flares.

Also, if you add a spacer to the frt, might wanna think about a drop pitman arm and a drop bracket for your trk bar to keep them parallel. I haven't added a frt spacer yet cause I think it handles great now with the adj frt lowers, hate to mess that up.
