I'm going to give ya my 2 cents.... I but 4dr Rubi w/ tow package coils on my 2 dr X, with 2 inch spacers. Now the coils only had 120 miles on them so I got 2 3/4 in the rear and 3 3/4 in the front. If I did it again I would leave off the stock coil isolators in the front due to torn front drive shaft boot. I even cut a U shaped groove on the trans skid plate and spaced it down, however that didn't work. I also got a front adjustable track bar, rear TB bracket, new shocks, rear brake line down plates, rear sway bar links, front discos and disconnected abs lines from brake lines.

P.S. So now once a week I put a rubber glove on and lube my shaft!
That just sounds DIRTY!! Oh well....

Hey, I have a the pro comp kit with the larger coils in the front and the spacers in the rear. It did not look to level to me, so I installed Rubicon Unlimited with the tow package coils in the rear and it raised the rear maybe a half inch, noticeably to me.

My first question would be, why so much lift? With a 2" bb you can clear 35's....

PM. Stormrider, tell him I told you to. He's got a 1" BL, and TF budget boost. He could probably answer your ?'s. He's also got a 6 speed!
