Default 1" Coil Spacers

Yea, I have another thread going right now I know, but I thought I'd ask because I've had no luck finding them...
Anyone know where I can order 1" coil spacers on line? I can only find 3/4 and 1.5-2...

3/4" spacer+1/4" spring isolators=1" of lift...just leave the isolators on.

This^^^ or my experience

Get the 1.5", they weight of the jeep will compress them a little over time. I have 1.5" on my trail rig and it was about a 6.8" lift and the spacers look a little fatter now(4 months) and it measures at 6.5" of lift.

Thanks guys.

I'm weary about getting into that 4.5" + territory with my 3" right now because I don't have the money for an adjustable trac-bar, longer control arms, brake lines etc...or a legitimate 4.5 lift. I'm thinkin I can get away with 4 up front though.(really just to level my truck out).

3" is the limit for stock track bar, brake lines, LCA's, T-Case, etc.

Leave it at 3" til you can do it right.

My trucks been really sensitive to lifting thus far so I'm definetely with you on this one, however, my front axle is still pretty centered and I've gotten mixed opinions (from experience) on one more inch up front. I might end up getting 'I-told-you-so'd, but if I can even sneak a 3/4" spacer in there I'd like to...

Haha. Agreed. At this point then the 35 bucks for spacers will be better spent on gas. Thanks for your input.
