Need an inch up front

I now have a 3" coil lift in the front of my 2000 XJ and I need another inch of lift. I was going to just put a 1" spacer in but a mechanic said that wouldn't work because something would hit something and that would end up bending some things. How can I get another inch of lift the right way. Please give a discription of any and all parts I will need

Well....KTM racer used them. and if you know anything about how he treats his jeeps, then you know he wheels the living hell out of them. and his ACOS spacers are still alive and kicking. I highly doubt you'd give them more abuse than he does...so yes they will take a ton of abuse.
