Arrow Lifted 4.5 short arm.. Can i add coil sapcers?

I have a 4.5 Rubicon Express short arm lift...It has JKS discos on it Rear Tom woods shaft, HP 30 and a 8.8.. I want to add Acos 2200 Adj coil spacers in the front and 1.75 poly spacer in the rear.. I dont want to cut the crap out of it but want to fit a min 33".. Other than Brake lines and a front end alignment What else should i worry about?? Any Suggestions?


Forgot to add.. It is a 97 ZJ 5.2.. Not the XJ pictured

Do you have a rear coil conversion?

I would guess you have adjustable trackbars? If so, should be fine. YOu will have less down travel, maybe longer shocks depending on what you are running meow.

Yes Adj Track bars... So everyone thinks it would be ok to add? Maybe shocks? I am going with adj spacers in the front to level it out.. It is 4.5 now and a little rake in the front..

If anyone has any other suggestions would be great!!

Also... Long arms You bet!! If i had the money for them... Cheap way to get buy now..

Thanks guys!!
