Default Suspension lift and leveling kit?

I'm looking to add a couple inches of lift to my JK, and level it out. It already has a suspension lift, but the bumper/winch combo seems to have weighed the front down about 3/4 of an inch. Its not much, but I notice it and it bugs the shit out of me. I have a teraflex spacer leveling kit that I haven't installed yet, and was wondering if there is any reason why running a suspension and spacer/leveling kit isn't smart.

Little more info on what lift is on now will help. Spacer or springs? What size?

Nothing wrong with doing this. Worse case is the handling quality degrades enough to make you want to buy other parts to correct it. Or you could always take the spacer off. Read through this https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...bie-has-18617/

A photo of the actual suspension components would be helpful. You can't tell anything from 25 feet away, but my guess is a 4" rough country.

skyjacker budget boost. Measure that spacer above the coil isolator to see how much lift it is.

Set up improperly with about 1" of up travel.
