That is essentially what I'm going to do. I'm planning to replace the existing 3/4" spacer with either a 1-1/2" or 1-3/4" spacer to net an additional 3/4"-1" of lift to help level the jeep and also to compensate for any sag from winch.

 

No man. Get adjustables if you don't want long arms. Your above the limits of the stock uca already.

Just trying to look out for a fellow jeeper man. You don't want crap breaking on the trail because you had the wrong components.

 

I'm thinking about doing this also, is it just adjustable uca's, or would i need to replace my 4.5" lca's also?? going from 4.5" - 5.5"

 

Doing short arms at that height, adjustable or not, is gonna be harsh. Ran that way for years, and it sucked hairy man *****.

Get a CAD kit or go longarms at that point. Just better geometry.

 

Wouldn't adjustable arms and a cad kit be almost as much as a long arm kit ?

 

See never late, I knew your setup wasn't going to fly here haha. I recommended adjustable control arms because you seemed apprehensive to long arms. But the truth of the matter is, you kinda need to go that route.

 

So if the winch i'm looking at weighs around 45-50lbs about how much sag should i expect running my Rustys 180lb HD springs?

 

i am running after market lower control arms as well
