I know there are a lot of KJ's who have spacer kits who do a lot of off-roading. Spacer kits have been around for a long time and have been throughly tested. Just like anything, they do have their limits just as your truck has it's limits.


And later they do away with the spacers and get real spring lifts due to problems :wink: Very mild off roading with bumpstops front and rear you can go for a while, but you still have the cheap worthless stock springs which are junk by 30,000 miles or so

I put some more lift in the rear today. I had only one on iso the top and none with the spacer on the bottom before. So I put put one on the bottom(none before) and three new ones with the original. I will see how it settles in a few days. Ground to the to the fender in the front is 37-3/4" and the rear before was 37-5/8", now the rear is 39". Now when I have a full load of people and 3 dogs in the back it sits level instead of a inch low like before.

I removed 2 iso's today because it was too high in the rear.

Hi Skinin, are your rear brake lines tight?

No there is lots of slack. I vent the brackets to get them at a better angle. The only way they get tight is when I disconnect the shocks and sway bar and drop the axle. With it all hooked up there is no way they will break.
