Default adding to a rc lift

Hey guys.. I have a 1998 jeep cherokee with a 3" rough country lift.. I wanted to put a 1" spacer in the front and maybe level it with the rear. Because it seems my front is lower a little. If I put a 1" spacer in front.. doea this require any changing in shocks.. or sway bars. Or does it no matter. .

if you're running stock control arms, you will need longer ones. maybe longer brake lines and possibly a sye.

What does your shackle angle look like and are your leaf packs broken in?

Why would he need a SYE if he's just lifting the front... legitimate question...

Oops. I misunderstood what he was asking. I thought he was asking what he needed to raise the front 1" and raise the rear to match.
