I just put new leafs on my Cherokee so now im at 4 in the rear and 3 in the front, how can i get my 2 inch coil spacers to give me only 1 inch of lift? I see that there is already a stock rubber piece over the spring, if i take that out and put in the new spacer will that work? Any ideas?

You want to leave the isolator there. Remove wheels, drop axle, add/remove whatever coil spacer you want.

I know how to go about lifting it, im just wanting to make the coil spacers i have give me less lift haha.

Alright, makes more sense now. So, your OP says that you have 4" rear and 3" front.. Do you have that backwards? Hence, why you want less lift in front?
Either get a 1" spacer or another pair or 2 of stock coil spring isolators and run those in place of the 2" spacers. OR, spend a little $$ and get the JKS ACOS. Then you can fine tune your lift in the front.

I dont got much money man. Oh and it might help to say ive just got coils up fornt, i havent put the coil spacers on yet, they are just sitting around. Ill see if anyone local want to trade their 1 inch spacers for the 2 inch ones

Your spacers are rubber/urethane? Hack Saw, cut the spacers to half height. Cut slow and stead to keep a straight cut.

If you don't have much money, you need to be more creative. It's not rocket science, look at it, figure out what you can do to make it work. THEN DO IT!!!

you dont need to leave the stock isolator. the directions even say so.

the stock isolator is 1/2 inch thick. if you take that out, and put in your 2 inch spacer, you will only get 1.5 inches of lift.

i wouldnt go cutting it in half. they are tapered inwards at the top to fit around the bump stop tube, and tapered out at the bottom to hold your coil in place away from the bump tube. cut it in half and one of those tapers will be gone.

Ill take it out then, they are 1.75 inch daystar spacers so 1.25 inch is close enough for me. Thanks man

aint no thang.

Leave the stock rubber insulators in and your 2" spacers at full height. The real question is how to get another 1/2 inch into the rear. Consider that you may have to wedge the axle to leaves with this lift to get a suitable driveshaft angle, I made my wedges of 1" x 2.5" alum bar, milled to 3/4" at one end to change my driveline angle, 5/16 shcs on underside and leafs bolt goes into top of block hole, picks up some lift also. Just sayin.
