Ok! So here is my jeep
-Currently it has 2" coils and 1.75" spacers in the front. The coils are sagging and I have a little over 3" of net lift (for the front).
-the back has a 3" aal and I have an actual yield of 4" of lift now (one year old and still strong).
-also have a tcase drop and 2* shims; no vibes.
-31" tires
-RE lcas

So! Right now my jeep has the "modified beefy look" but I would rather have a more lifted look (like those who have 4,5" lifts).
Options are:
-get new 3" coils and combine them with my 1.75" spacer or maybe 1" spacer and hope its not too much higher than the back.
-get used 4.5" coils and hope they're sagging a little so it's only a little higher (if any) than the back.
-or go all out new 4.5" coils, shackles, sye, and new ds ($$$ so I'd have to save up)
-I'll have to get new shocks with any of these so oh well.

I would like to take a more cost effective route but want to know what everyone thinks. Btw the back does look higher than the front (but not in that picture). I'll post more pics tmro.
Thanks!

 

The expensive option. It will hurt the wallet, but you'll be happier in the long run

 

x2 yah get it done right the first time, and the kits come with everything, so my bs. I hate my spacers

 

As you can see the rear is a bit higher than the front so I really don't need a full kit, just coils and maybe shackles.. Idk

 

Finish the body. Paint the bottom of the front fender to match the rockers & put the trim back on and paint it along with the rear fender or take the rest off and then worry about it. To me, thats what stands out the most.

As far as the lift goes, do you want it just for looks or are you actually using it? No need to spend money you dont have on something you want solely for looks. If youre using it, save up until you can buy the right kit.

 

Yeah I'll paint those fenders one day. As far as the lift goes yeah I go offloading every once and a whille but don't like getting mud out of nooks and crannys all the time. And I hate that when I flex on stuff, the front doesn't flex as well cause the rear is an inch higher so I really want to at least even it out if not get another inch all around out of the deal. I've done everything aftermarket to it myself so don't think that I just bought it or anything.

 

4.5" Will need a track bar, or a drop bracket, which would also mean a drop pitman arm. shocks, brake lines etc. the rear you could probably do a shackle, and not have to worry about a sye yet.
How much are your lower arms meant for?
its more of a jump than new coils.

 

I have brake line brackets, I'm getting new shocks anyway, and yeah I'll need a new trac bar whatever I do probably. Lcas are rubicon express super ride 3.5"-4.5" lift or whatever. I'm pretty sure that theyr the only fixed size they make

 

I might just get some new rubicon express 3.5" coils and shocks and see where that puts me. At least after that I can add spacers and shackles if I need to. And I can get a trac bar when I get the money; not as urgent.. What do y'all think?
