Ok I did a search and I found a lot of threads with the words Spacer and lift....
I was assuming they were the same thing...Can anybody give me a definition of what these two things are and how they differ and Why I would need either?![Thinking](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/thinking.gif)
I realize that a lift lifts the vehicle up for more ground clearence....![Yup](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/yup.gif)
and yes...all the noob flames are welcome.

A "spacer lift" is just a type of "lift". You can lift a vehicle several different ways. The simplest and cheapest is a 'spacer lift' which will put a spacer on your springs to give you a higher ride height. Other types of lifts will include shocks and springs at a minimum, and as they get better (and more expensive) will also include control arms, trackbars, etc....
