Default Lift Question - Noob Content
Noob here. Can I safely add lift spacers without adding any other components? I'm interested in adding 1.5" to 2.5" of lift, but don't want to get into a high-dollar project.

You can add 1.5" lift with spacer only. 2.5 lift may require trac bar relocation bracket or adjustable track bar and "shock extension or new shocks" with bump stops extension so you don't lose down travel.

If you get the teraflex leveling kit it will give you 2" in the front and 1" in the back for a total of 1.5" in the middle. Pretty easy install and only cost $130 from Quadratec.

My off road wheeling will be kept to mainly large gravel, 4-6" of mud/water and logging trails. This is also my DD. So, I'm thinking something in the 32-33" range. They'll be going on stock 16" rims with 2" wheel spacers.
