Boost the Front Only?
 
Hey All,
I'm new to this, but really impressed at the wealth of knowledge that you guys have.

Here's my question: My wife's WJ is pretty much just a grocery getter, but I like to have a little fun with it once in a while. Can I just put some 2 inch spacers on the front coils to eliminate the rake and provide me a little more clearance? Or is that likely to look goofy?

Def going to look goofy. :popcorn:

Since y'all with the Grands have coils...just put the spring spacers around it...

you can do about 3/4" in the front to get rid of the rack... But I'd say do spacers all the way around of do some Old Man Emu 2" coils all around they are set more balanced than the stockers.. thus removing the "rake"...

I second that. if you want it to look better then just do a level kit which would be 3/4" spacer in the front.

Boost It All Around Then
 
Thanks for the replies. I hadn't yet figured out that 3/4 in. was the boost needed to level it. But after thinking about it today, I'd probably want more in short time, so I think I'll start with a BB and lift all four corners.

That's a good way to start it...
A pretty nice lift for your jeep would make it look a lot better...
