Mine actually feels slightly low in the rear so next week i will be adding some 1/2" rear spacers. Good luck.
I pulled my Teraflex Leveling kit and installed the 2.5 coil lift. I was a little disappointed. It looked the same ride height. I definitely did not get an additional 1" in the rear over the level kit. Now my dilemma is that I am wondering if .5" spacers is worth the 6 hours it will take to install them. Lol.

Why will it take you 6 hours to install a spacer?

Well, I only need to add the 1/2" spacers to the rear to get 2" of lift over what I was stock. I have no issues with the front. I got the adverstised 3". I will knock out my pinch seam and rail rock trim while I am at it.

Why not just get the 3" springs instead of 2,5" springs with a 0,5" spacer??????

I'm going to assume because he already has them on his rig. Adding a 1/2" spacer isn't a big deal...

Right now I am running the shock extensions on Sahara shocks. If I swap out to Rubicon shocks with the extensions, will I gain any ride height? What about the Teraflex or Bilstein shock?

This without adding the .5" spacer

You won't gain height from shocks but you will improve your ride quality.

I was just about to pull the trigger on Daystar .75" spacers, but then I started wondering if I will need exhaust spacers since mine is a 2012.

Are you adding the .75" to an existing lift or is the .75" spacer the only lift you would be putting on the jeep?
