Ah! Yeah, forgot about those.

You can lower with those. At least they bolt on.

No, you can still use your stock shocks with the 2"s of lift if they're still good.

Thanks guys... so I'm guessing a slightly sagged pair of TJ springs will net me a whopping nothing... Dang. I was hoping some ACOS and these would net me about 3.5"s... back to the drawing board.
And BTW, Those spring spacers are scary and CRAP! Don't use them!! Almost as bad as air shocks on a tow vehicle!

You know 3 inch coils are less than 100 dollars right? Aren't Acos like 150?

But you forget that I'm in Germany so you can about double the cost just for shipping heavy stuff. Stupid USPS makes a fortune off jeepers over here... :O

Think this is right for this thread (I'm a noob). What, if any, is the benefit of having 15x10 as opposed to 15x8 rims? I thought it was because you could run 12.5 tires but I think I saw where some one was running them on the 15x8?

You can run a 12.50 on a 15x8. The narrower the rim, the less likely to pop off the bead when aired down. Looks are another reason. I think a 12.50 on a 10 looks better than on an 8.
