Tell me if this makes sense. I have a RC 3.25 lift which is their 2.5 spring plus .75 spacers. With my winch and very heavy bumper I stilll had rake, my front and was sagging at leat .75 inch and was rubbing off road so I added an additional .5 inch spacer to the front. I still have a tine tiny bit of rake. The lift I have in the rear only gave me about 2.25-2.5 inches of actual lift in rear. I am putting a new rear DS on because mine is puking grease and it states that it is desgined for lifts of 3 inches or higer. I also want to install coil correction wedges in rear to help once I rotate pinion angle with new ds.

So I am thining of taking away the front spacers (1.25 total) and replacing with 2 inch spacer from teraflex leveling kit in the front. In the rear I would remove .75 inch spacer and replace with one inch spacer in the rear from their levleing kit and coil correction kit from rockrawler. I should gain at least 1/2 inch in the rear, possible .75 inch from that combo and I will gain .75 inch in the front making my jeep either sit at same rake with sligtly hgher stance or completely even with slightly higher stance. I think it should essentially give me a 4 inch lift exaclty with 4 inches of lift in the front and 3 inchs of lift in the rear over stock. I am running the RC 2.2 shocks from the 3.25 kit still. Does this make sense? Right now I cannot afford better coils and shocks which was the original plan but with the fact I just spend 3000 bucks on regear and axle reinforcment and now my DS is puking grease and needs to be replaced

Shouldn't be a problem to add another 3/4", just adjust the ca's and trackbars if you need to. And depending on what all you have installed up front, you might also read through a few flip threads 'just in case'.

Another consideration is that the wedges should add bit of lift also. (1/4"? 1/2"? Don't recall what the height is, but figure it in). And some hose clamps to keep them in place would be a good idea.

I factored in the wedges giving at least 1/4 inch of lift in the rear. So I plan on adding 1/2 inch at least total to the rear with the slighlty larger spacer and the wedges.

I only got about 2.25 inches total lift in rear from RC 3.25 kit so I will be at 2.75-3 inches in rear lift over stock.

Front, I only got about 3-3.25 over stock with the 1/2 inch additonal spacer becasue of the winch and bumper so I should be between 3.75 and 4 inches total over stock.

I just wanted to make sure all my calculations makes sense and that his isnt a bad idea. This is just to get me till next year or so and I am putting on a 3 inch teraflex lift and then I will be done messing with my lift for llong time.

I changed my plan slightly, one inch coil spacer in rear plus Rockrawler correction wedges and 1.75 inch coil spacer in the front.

I am hoping this will give me a total lift of 3.75 front and 2.75 rear.

Here was my math:

Front
2.5 coils minus .5 for winch and bumper sagging=2 2+1.75 spacer = 3.75

Rear

1.5 coil +1 inch spacer+.25 for correction wedges= 2.75
