Im not a fan of wheel spacers but other than that sounds good. You really dont need spacers anyways.

yea like most of the responses say, be a little patient with the stock jeep for now and save up your money. If you put that 3 inch on there now you will only want to go higher 3 months later and will have to basically start from scratch, which is where I am at haha!

I'm fine with my lift height but i wish i had have bought a better lift with better components. My 2 pennies.
