Sorry, iPhone search brought up the most random things ...

Quick question: I've chopped my fenders and installed air bags to compensate for weight (more overlander than Rock crawler) and am looking into lifts now.

I don't want to go large, so the 1.5 lift sounds amazing. It's not stock!

However, can you install the 1.5" spacer kit and not have to change anything else out? I was considering doing the OME shocks anyway, but do I need to do both at the same time?

Or is there another route recommended?

Should probably note I have the stiffest springs you can get factory. They're the springs those with 2Dr X's want for an inch or more lift. I do sit higher than most stock X's as is, but not much.

You dont have to. But you might as well do it all at once.

I just installed the TeraFlex 1.5 leveling kit and didn't have to change anything else out.

Yeah, I was figuring it'd be easier, but I'm always just so antsy to do SOMETHING lol

Plus, there's no many friggin options out there and so many ways to use your jeep it makes things hard, especially with limited finances.

That's comforting. I don't mind taking things apart twice. Makes me more familiar with my vehicle. Think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on this one since all I want is a small lift with as few other modifications needed.

I just installed this lift a couple days ago and im really happy with it so far, very simple to install. i didn't add anything to the kit and it rides great and looks so much better then stock. And for the price you can't go wrong! sorry for the cell phone pics

I tried to mount it as high as i could, its so high i can see it from the inside. I mite lower it, i like the hight of it but i don't like the gap between the bar and the bumper, gonna give it some time and see if i change my mind and lower it!

If you're going to use it off-road I'd put some swaybar disco on it.
