I want More LIFT!! adding spacers?

A body lift gives no ground clearance, so i wouldnt even consider that. All it does is raise your center of gravity and put more stress on body mounts. Since you have a coil lift, you can put spacers in front and back with no issues. Other than if you don't have adjustable control arms or track bars, you are going to want them with the extra lift.

Do what you want to your JK as you can put spacers on top of your coil suspension. Just know that you may have to change your DS and possibly get control arms to get it to drive better. With a bl, you would need to do nothing else.

That's not a very smart statement. No, a bl dosn't give you more ground clearence but neither will spacers. The only way to get ground clearence is with BIGGER TIRES. Coils, spacers or bl's do not raise the axles. As far as the center of gravity, the above statement is really off as a bl raises your COG less that a suspension lift because only the weight of the body is raised.

And yes a suspension lift does raise the center of gravity as well, but you gain the above mentioned ground clearances in return. A body lift wont give you any of these gains.
