Default Skyjacker 2 1/2" Front lift Only

Well, I decided to take the 2 3/4" Spacers out each side & go with the 2 1/2" Skyjacker Coils Spings. Went pretty easy since I've dug into the front twice now. I did this because in the near future I 'll be installing a Stubby Bumper with my T-MAX EWI 10000 I have sitting here. I know the front will droop some so it should be good. One thing that confused me though, I measured from welded seam to ground and front & back is 19 1/4"....they match Made a quick adjiustment to Steering Wheel and got it straight. Drivability: I really can't speak to that since we have 50 mph wind gust here in central Pa, blow's me around at 60 like a piece of Styrofoam...little spooky. The more I learn about the "Tow Package" and the increased rear lift DC gave me free, I figured I finish it off with the front lift, already have 2 1/2" lift Skyjacker Nitro's on. Now I have (4) 3/4" Spacers don't know what to do with & my 265X75X16's just have to wear out soon(hoping)

Lights do not interfere at all, wife thinks so, but I just override that. God do they light the world up. One thing I did notice after the 2 1/2" Coils went in, person in front of me at dark this morning was looking right at my headlights in their rearview mirror. Got to find the headlight adjust??????????/

Nam,
I'm sure you probably know this but they are 10 and 2 o clock on the inside of the light frame.

Good luck and great looking rig!

I was looking for a set of those spacers also if you are interested in parting with them. Your Jk looks very good by the way. It's hard to believe that it sits level with the lift in the front and nothing in the rear, that's unreal.

It is strange about how this made it quite level, after pputting the 2 sets of 3/4" spacers in it was still about 3/4" low rear to front. Sorry, Spacers are already gone.....
