Default TF 2.5" BB w/ 1"in spacer

Would a 1" spacer on top of a TF 2.5" BB be to much? Would the front be higher than the rear? Please help, I looking to lift my jeep this weekend.

If you haven't already purchased the lift, I would recommend just flat out going with either a 3" or 3.5" lift.

If you have already purchased a 2.5" BB, IMO going with a 1" body lift would be a better alternative.

I already have a 2.5" BB and have the 1" BL on way. I will post pics as soon as I install it.

Thank you for your reply. My goal is lift and level my jeep inexpensively. My question is whether the spacer is necessary to level it out.

Rustler...I've got the same freakin' problem. I installed the front half of my daystar 1.75" BB and just the front has leveled out the jeep. My concern is removing the spacers and installing 2.5" all around will give it the same freakin' rake, just higher off the ground!

Beta, what about install the 2.5" on top of the 1.75" or is that a no no?

I've got a 2.5 BB with 3/4 spacers in front, and a winch. Looks almost level if not perfect to me. I don't know if an extra 1/4 will make that much difference. But yeah, that's the cheapest way of doing it. Before long I'll probably have my parts for sale and I'm going to go to a 3 or 3.5 full suspension lift.

I think most BB level the jeep out , WOL may correct me on this, but if your running a stock bumper you should probly have a pretty level jeep, check out Wol's Project JK 2.5 TF install pics. I know for sure the RE BB 2in leveled mine out. 2.5 in front and a hair under 2 in the back. Since then I've added a 1in m.o.r.e BL. Dammit now I'm leaning more towards the RE 4.5 Long arm kit, JEreel driveshafts, 5.13 gears . Damn this site is gonna make me go broke Awww hell just go big in the first place and you"ll spend less in the long run. I can almost Garauntee that after you lift it you'll wanna go more!! Go big now or suffer the pocket book strain later

Oh , by the way, the RE BB w/shocks $349, and will level the jeep out perfectly with stock bumper.
