Default thoughts on coil spacers?

have a 2000 jeep Cherokee sport with stock suspension but looking to give it a little cheap lift. would coil spacers be a good choice for that? if so, what should I look out for?

i mean spacers are ok, but what are you going to do for the rear? Are the leafs sagging?

I don't see a problem with coil spacers as long as the aren't any more than 3".

For some odd reason my old TJ had 2 pair stacked in the rear & only one set up front but sat level.
It was perfectly fine one the road & on the trails at Tellico.

They're great for evening out ride height front to rear, but they really shouldn't be used as the primary means to achieve lift.

Coil Spacers are fine as long as you don't exceed the upper coil retainer length.

Lots of people have used coil spacers and 2" budget boosts. Our main advice is go with a good company like Daystar or Rubicon Express, and avoid FLEA-bay specials. A majority of good kits even come with new shocks as well.
