Coil spacers will work well for the OP.
Unfair assessment.... I had AT&T at the time....

Just ab observation since it is the case with stock jeeps. I would guess that 95% of peoples down travel is limited by shocks. Do you use the straps? I don't see the point unless the shocks are WAY too short or you prerun it hard.

My warning was to simply let people know that the stock shocks have a limited travel range and running them with a coil spacer lift without the shock extenders isn't the best idea. There has to be a reason the lift kits include shock extenders or longer shocks.
Damn you, go away!

I was thinking about doing the same as the OP to my Sahara.
Dont want anything radical. Just something for a little edge.
Also thinking about Spidertrac wheel spacers
as I dont want the expense of getting new wheels/tires..

Just found spider spacers for $125 brand new, never opened.

The coil lift will look good. I put rubi coils and shocks on with TF 2.5" BB and live it... Guess I kind of made my own coil lift...

ok so through all the b.s. on here i was able to piece a little bit together. new shocks are not necessary when it comes to coil spacers.
