I want to level out my 2000 XJ. It has a 3" lift and the front is exactly 1" lower than the rear. I figured all id need would be a 1" coil spacer, then it just dawned on me about the stock spacer it has. Whats the thickness of the stock spacers? If its 1" Im assuming Id have to buy a 2" spacer to compensate for the stock spacer that will be removed and the extra inch I need to level the jeep?

I was told by IRO that the stock spacer is 1/4".

It seemed more like 3/4. Im curious, can anyone tell me when you install spacers, do you still need the stock insulator or just remove it?

Well then some confirmation on its actuall size would be help to the both of us. Because I was under the impression that my lift with and my budget lift would be 4" frnt and 4.5 rear.

I have always done the three inch with 2 inch spacers. never had the isolater pads in there to begin with so I just went spring, spacer and done. always looked better than the nose sitting lower than the rear. Personally i hate how that looks.

Thats the same setup Im running, as well as a couple friends of mine.

I would leave the isolater in there and use the 1" spacer and it should look fine

Sorry I was wrong about the size of thestock isos... they are 1/2" not 1/4". My bad.

We just budget boosted my boys rig, following Daystars instructions we left the isolater in. I'm pretty sure thats standard.

yup, isolator in. and you can double up on them.

I was always told its not suppose to come out anyways

So would it be safe to say if I have a 3/4" iso and my stock one, I would have a total of 1 1/4 " of added lift??

When I did my 2" lift I didn't count the islolator as part of the height, cuz then that means it would have put my front 3/4 higher then the rear. And it didn't cuz my lift turned out dead even in height
