Can I run 2.5 inch coils + 1inch spacer up front and 2.5 inch rear spacers?
I currently have the full teraflex 2.5 budgetboost w/ bumpstops, swaybars, shocks, brakelines and rear tracbar bracket. I got some sag up front on my #15 coils when adding 160lbs of bumper and winch. I want to ditch my 2.5 spacers up front and put in 2.5 tf springs along with their 1 inch spacer while just leaving the 2.5inch spacer in the rear. I figure their springs will sag as well which is why I wanna do the 1 iinch spacer up front. Can I do this? Or should I do the rears too?

Don't do it. Do the 2.5 lift. Then see if you need any spacers and how tall. Chances are it will sag 1/4-1/2" up front. But so will the rear. 1" of spacer is a lot. You will over do it.

Okay thanks for the advice. Im going to do the new springs up front and back when the time comes around. My 2.5 spacers were a bitch to get in when I installed, will they be a bitch to remove? or just fall out with the springs when flexed.

With that said if anyone needs a 3/4" front spacer let me know, $20 plus shipping.

Exactly my point. Most likely coils will lift the Jeep more in front than in rear. At least that was the case for my RC coil lift. Adding more spacers to front is non sense.
