Anyone piece together a coil spacer lift?
2014 4 door, and I want to add rough country 1.75" coil spacers. I see the kit that includes the shocks, but why replace, when I could buy shock extensions? Question is: do i need a longer sway bar link in the back, and if so, how long? This is very confusing, because some coil spacer kits come with these parts, and some don't..
basically I don't want the 2.5" BB.
Just want to add coil spacers, but unsure of how much other parts I need.
thanks in advance.

Teraflex leveling kit! $135 adds 2 inches up front and 1 inch in rear and comes with sway bar links. Been running it for 2 years with 34" tires. Also easy install.

Keep reading and it will all come together in time, dirtmans sticky at the top of this section should be read a few times every few days till it's etched in your mind

I pieced mine together. Started with 2" spacers and bump stops. It wheeled fine doing mild rock crawling. I later got used shock extensions and I don't know if I noticed a difference but I felt a little better about having the extra droop to not damage the shocks. Then picked up someones stock rear swaylinks and threw them up front. Noticed a small difference. Then longer rear swaylinks and rear trackbar bracket. Barely noticed a difference. Finally got used teraflex 2.5" coils. Those made a difference. Softer on road and I don't hit my bump stops nearly as easily. For that much lift you could take your time getting everything. You will probally want more though. Keep an eye out for used parts
