Default Can I add Coil Spacers on top of BB Lift Kit?

I have a Rusty's Offroad 2" BB lift on my '08 JK Unlimited. I want to level out the front which seems to be about 1.75 inches low. Can I add a 1, 1.5, or 1.75 inch coil spacer to level out the front without making any other modifications and without screwing up the whole ESP sensor system?

I'd like for it to sit perfectly level (no rake) so can I go with a 1.5-1.75 inch spacer without any other mods? or can I stack two .75 inch spacers to raise the front 1.5 inches w/o any mods?

I believe that by definition, a budget boost IS spacers. So the question is, will putting a spacer on top of a spacer cause some potential for the two spacers to shift. I don't know the answer to that, but would rather, recommend just buying a bigger front spacer (but now you are talking a 3+ inch spacer boost).

Another problem you will have is that your sway bar links are likely going to be too short so you will have to deal with that by purchasing some adjustable or longer links. You want your sway bars pretty much level with the frame of the Jeep.

I will let the experts chime in here.

yes you can do it. the daystar spacers are stackable. i ran rubicon express 2" bb with 3/4" daystar spacers on top of that and it leveled it out nicely.

According to Terraflex and Daystar (I called both to verify), you can stack spacers. As for screwing up your geometry, well that depends on how high its going to go with the added spacers.

The way I understand it is you can stack TF fronts, but not the rears. I don't know about other brands.

Stacking is possible, just usually not recommended. Your best bet would be to find a single front spacer that is the size of your BB spacer + the amount you want to go up.

Because the rears have the "spring guide" that would keep them from being stacked. The fronts are just discs and stack nicely.

I added a Superlift 0.75" to my TeraFlex 2.5" spacer on the front, to level the rake. No issues for the past year. They meet perfectly well.
