I have 1.75" spacers on top of my 6" coils but I have also replaced my drive shafts and control arms. Not sure how this would translate to a .5" spacer on a 2-3" coil and no DS or control arm replacement. I also am running a 1" BL for both lift and tire clearance. But at least you know it can be done.

here is mine with the TF 2.5 coil, I added a 1"BL when i got my 35's for some more tire clearance and height without having to change driveshafts or anything like that, easy way to gain an inch without having to change anything else out.

Yea a body lift isnt really what I want. Im looking for additional ground clearance but no one seems to know for sure if I can put 1/2" spacers on without replacing control arms and drive shafts?

I just had 3/4" Daystar spacers installed on to my OME 2" springs since I went up to 35s. Sitting a little over 3" of lift with my Shrockworks Bumper & Winch and the Mopar rear bumper with tire carrier and 35 spare with ATX rim.
Nangulator did the install at his shop and everything looks to be in good alignment. Only thing we may need to do is cut a notch in the factory tranny skid because at full flex it may rub a little on the drive shaft. I have not wheeled it yet with the new setup but on road it's doing great. Waiting on the new shocks to come in.

I have the TF 2.5" COIL lift and I am also using a TF 1" spacer on top of the front coils with no issue at all. I see no reason why you can't do the rears also. I will be adding a rear bumper and tire carrier soon and if my rear sags any, I will be using spacers to level it out. FYI - I have had to make no other mods to the suspension!

IMO the gaps left by body lifts look kinda crappy if you keep the stock bumpers and stuff and dont move them up too. I would try the suspension spacer before I body lifted personally.

It drives ok now, I know control arms would help but can't afford them right now. I have no rubbing I just want a little more ground clearance. Im pretty much just looking for a little boost in ride height without spending a lot of money.
