Coil spacers on top of a lift kit?
I have a lift kit (unknown height or brand because the person I bought it from didn't know, but I think it's a 4") and wanted to know if I could put coil spacers on the front and an ad a leaf kit on the back.

Dont waste your time with an AAl in a pack that already provides lift. You can put a spacer up front..but dont stack them (if there is already a spacer up front youll have to buy coils)...Use a longer shackle in the rear.

I've had a full length aal for over 2 years now. No sag.
Just a stiff ride.
I've heard folks say coil spacers can fall out if the coil gets unseated. I just put coil spacers on my wifes Tj, I had to hammer them over the bumpstop post. They arent going to fall out.

You can run a long arm on your current lift if you would like. Then if you decide later you want to lift it more, purchase the coils or spacers, shackles, and shocks the proper length for your new lift height.
