So I spent about 30 minutes this morning at my local 4x4 shop this morning with a jack, a level and a measuring tape. After much deliberation, we decided that I need 1.5 inches at the front to get rid of the rake. Now....I could've swore I'd seen 1.5 inch coil spacers but for some reason, I can't find any! I therefore have a couple of questions for you all-knowledgeable in this matter out there in cyberland.

1) Did we measure wrong...and that's why I can only find 1.75" spacers?
2) Can I stack 2x.75" spacers to add up to 1.5"?
3) Is the 1.75" spacer (or any spacer for that matter) going to sag? ... hopefully to 1.5!

I'm running stock 32's and I don't want to go with a full lift, I just want the Jeep to just look right! Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

Do you have an aftermarket bumper?

nukeman

Yes, you can stack spacers 2 high.

As far as I know, the rake is .75", but if you have a big bumper on the front, then that explains the difference.

Actually I don't have an aftermarket bumper. Everything's stock! I also thought that the rake was about .75-1" but we measured it quite a few times and 1.5" was what looked right and level.

You got the JK street rod version!

This should do the trick:

LOL...its certainly seems that way! To be honest, it really looks that way to me....I really hate the amount of rake I have. Does anyone know of a 1.5" spacer on the market? I mean other than the ReadyLift kits...they look awesome but I just can't justify that price!

I am also interested in a 1.5" front spacer kit. I have 3/4" spacers installed now and still have a little rake. I do have the back seat removed, damn thing was heavy when I removed it.

JulianK

What I'll likely do is stack 2x.75" spacers to give me the 1.5" I need. Readylift is the only one who seems to make a spacer (adjustable) to 1.5" but at almost $300 bucks here that's a little pricey, aluminum or not.
