Does anyone have only 1.75 or 2" spring spacers on front with no lift on rear? I would like to see what that looks like.

It looks like the problem I'm trying to fix on mine. It makes the Jeep look broken, and you can check my album or ask anyone who's seen my Jeep.

Lol true that. I ran mine the opposite way (2" spacers in the back and no lift up front) for a little while and that looks almost as dumb. Plus it rides like ****

x3... I can't imagine that looking like a "sweet ride" by any means. I hear of people doing that to toyota trucks and I think it looks like a backwoods, inbreed, shade tree mechanic got their hands on it... but that's just my honest opinion.

IRO critical path long arm. I believe IRO makes the most quality parts (won't break) and has great customer service. Almost anyone who has ordered from them, won't order from anyone else.

That and their storefront (only one) is like 10 minutes away from my house = $ saved on shipping

You might get away with a transfer case drop, what year? You will need to either relocate your stock brake line brackets or buy new brake lines if you plan on flexing and doing alot of rough terrain off roading.
