Who has used Rustys 2.5 coil spring lift and his .75 spacers together? Give me some positive or negative feedback. i am planning to put these on in a few days.

That would be too much lift for the KJ. That would be a total of 3.25" of lift. Instead of those spacers, you might want to try a clevis lift. This link might help you out: Click Here

BTW, on those Rusty's poly spacers would you have to decompress the springs to install them, or do they go under the struts, like a clevis lift (with locknuts).

To my knowledge it replaces the lower isolater in the strut assembly. I am trying to do that but i think i am going to do a clevis lift and assess the situation before i use the spacers.

That would be to much pre-load on the springs which would give way to much lift. The Franken lift uses a spacer similar to the rustys spacer but uses shorter springs. :)

I would just stick to a clevis lift, also. I put one in today. Simple and easy.

Did mine a couple days ago, and had it out on a fairly rough trail (in some sections) and it performed wonderfully.

I did a clevis lift yesterday, and it seems to be doing okay so i will stick with that.
