i want to do a 2 inch skyjacker coil spacer lift with shocks and bumpstops. i would like to run 32s on it.  i use it as a daily driver mostly and take it on some light muddy trails in south florida. should i spend the extra money and add on another 3/4 inch spacer and if so what else would i need. transfer lowering case? brakeline extentions? back spacing? etc.  

anything will help.   im not going to be rock climbing anytime soon, so i think i might go with the 32s and not worry about the rubbing.  let me know of any problems i might come into. thanks

you do not want to stack spacers. the reason they dont make the spacer taller than 2 inches is you never want to go over 2inches (i did by .25").  by using the 2 inch spacers your ride will be exactly how it is now, just 2 inches higher, meaning the spacers arent going to level out the vehicle like most spring lifts out there. i pieced my kit together. i used a 2.25 inch spacer in the front and a .75 inch spacer in the rear to lift and level out the vehicle. then i got some skyjacker nitro shocks for 1-3 inches of lift. i tried the hydros and had to send them back they were horrible.  the front is really the only thing that most tj's need to come up in the front the rears are pretty high already. ofcourse mine is a rubicon but its almost the same. my brother who has a regular tj used a 2 inch in the front and a 1 inch in the rear to level his while lifting it.

a spacer lift WILL make your ride different and rougher. your jeep will never ride the same or be the same in general. thats the fun in having a jeep. you only need 4 spacers and 4 lift shocks and you have a kit. you really dont need all the other stuff.

do they make a .25inch spacer or a 2.25 spacer and if so who makes it.  any word on if they 32s will fit on a 2000 sport tj with a 2 or 2.25 lift and 15 inch rims?

i  wanted to get the bfg all terrains size 32x11.5x15r but was told that they are on backorder for a month or two.  Instead i went with the procomp same size all terrains.  Does anyone have any experience with these tires?
