I just did a clevis lift on the front and now I am about an inch higher in the fron than I am in the back. I want to raise tha back up 1 to 2 inches. As usual, before I mod, I have a couple questions.
1) Would it look stupid (or hurt the handling) to have the rear about an inch higher than the front? I usually trail ride with a cooler and some gear in the back, so I hope the extra inch will keep the rear up when loaded.
2) Where is a cheap place to get a small spacer for the rear to accomplish this?

I already have a 2.5" Skyjacker Platinum lift.

Thanks,
Rescu2000

Add 2 upper OEM coil isolators.That's a total of 4,2 per side and adding to the one already there for a total of 3 per side,do not go beyond 3 per side.Each added isolator adds 1/2" of lift.

i dont think it would look funny and it might not even be that noticable, just add 2 rear upper iso's (4 total) each one will give you about .5" of lift and you can get them from the dealer I bought 2 for about $30, and the online place isnt that much cheaper by the time you add on shipping
