i think 3" is the highest you can go w/out opening the can of worms. ie, adj trackbar, sye, longer lines, driveshaft, etc, etc..

pros about using spacers, is your stock coils are soft, and will be flexy.
cons: your stock coils are soft, and so the additional height will make the jeep feel a little more "floaty" at high speeds.

get the gabriel autozone shocks. they advertise the extended/compressed lengths on the site, and they are like $17 ea w/lifetime warranty.

i would do what holycaveman did tho.. but at least get some used 3" coils for the front. you will find them all over the forums for $30-50 maybe.

holycaveman, what tire size are you running? metric?

Running 235/85/16. Mounted measure exactly 32.5".

The extended bump stops and stuffing the tires inside the Wells are the trick.

I fully flexed it out with no sway bars and decided to cut the front fenders 1" for added clearance. With the 2" front shock extensions it flexed a lot more.

Wish I would have known about those Gabriel shocks, nice find btw.

How much did those OME light duty leafs lift? im thinking 2.5" but i thought the medium duty springs are rated for that. I'm looking to buy a pair here pretty soon and im looking for leafs that'll give a 2" lift but a little more is of course fine with me

thanks!
