5.5"-7.5" lift?
Someone suggested that I use 2" coil spring spacers to bring my 5.5" rubicon express long arm lift up to a 7.5" lift.
Before y'all post, I'm just tryin to learn if 1. its even possible. 2. If its a smart idea and if it's not then why. 3. If it is possible, what else would be involved with this?
As I said before I'm trying to learn, not really to do it to my rig, but more for knowledge and conversation sake.

do it, it will work just fine.
you will need to do the toe in alignment tho.
i've got 8 inch longarm, and i might just throw my 2 inch spacer in too.

Prob need longer shocks and a way of lifting the rear. RE uses longer shackles and 4.5" leaves with the 5.5" kit so shackles are out unless you want really long ones.

XJs have tiny wheel wells to clear much more than a 33 without a huge lift you gotta trim a little. I'm running 38s with roughly 7.5".
