I have been looking around for a package to lift my jeep about 2 inches. I found front spring spacers from one site and 2 inch back blocks from jcwhitney.

Any comments or thoughts on these 2 products?

I had to actually talk to a customer service person at jcwhitney to get the info on the actual size of the lift kit as its not stated anywhere in the product details

Anyway any thoughts or suggestions appriciated.

 

beware of JCWhitney on there lift stuff its all good but they mix and match products.

 

as long as "mix n match" is just cosmetic I don't care. If I end up with one 2 inch block and one 1 inch block ill be pissed. Other than that I don't care.

 

wrong parts is what I would worry about,as u-bolts and center pins and stuff that matters trust me.

 

well, looks like Ill figure something else out for rear blocks. Thanks for the input!

 

Shackles... coil spacers up front and shackles in the back with your old leafs

here is a couple

usualy you want to stay away from blocks in the rear

 

do they sell blocks for the back or is it just shackles and add a leafs

 

yeah, I have seen a couple different blocks. Found some 2 inch blocks, have to buy the u bolts separate.

 

where did you find those

also found something at jcwhitney but was advised not to go with jcwhitney due to mismatched parts.

 

I see thanks for the help

 

just curious, what is bad about using blocks vs shackles or AAL.

 

when you flex out real hard sometimes with blocks they will spin out as i have heard and it makes the angle on the drive shaft harsh but you can always shim it or drop your t case.

 

I'm not really worried about flexing out. I am building a beach rig, I just want a little more clearance.
