Default Extra lift

I am currently running a RC 6.5" lift with 35's. i am looking at trying to get an extra 2" of lift. I dont want to hear that i shouldnt do it i just want to know how others have achieved it. i want to do it because i am getting ready to add a heavy front bumper with winch and a heavy rear bumper with tire carrier and i know i will lose inches when i do. help please.

It all depends on how heavy the bumpers and addons are to figure out how mcuh you will want but i'll just give you the options.

Since you have the roughcountry 6.5"

I would do a 1" or 2" front coil spring spacer very easy to install and will give you the height back you will lose from adding the heavier stuff.


As for the rear i'm pretty sure that the 6.5" RC kit comes with extended shackles in there kit so you wouldnt be able to do that for the lift you options would be.

A pro comp AAL or a 1" to 2" lift block both are very easy to install and will also give you the extra height you need.

Thoses are the options i see for you hope it helps.

JeepinOutfitters, one of the sponsors here can hook you up.

Most bumper/winch combo's arent heavy enough to lower the front end by more than 1/2 to 3/4" at most.
