if you bought new coils you wouldnt need that spacer, go buy some OME HD coils, they are $72 each last I knew from DPG Off-Road 316-776-9900.

OME coils are marketed at a 1.5" lift, but if you ask the people on LOST that are using them, you can expect a 2"+ from where you SHOULD be, and as I said, if you are .5" low, than you will get a 2.5" lift out of JUST the OME.

from just the OME HD coils I gained 2.5" and then I added a clevis and made it into 3", plus a better ride and handling.

I'm already about 2 to 2.5 inches in the front it settled a little but I'm about to put a backbone winch and a smittybilt src bumper on her so I figure ill sag to around 1.5 inches over stock so that's why I wanted to put the 2 inch spacers on it to get me to right around 3.5 inches I just want to know it the cv axles can take that much angle

your right with whatever lift you currently have you will sag but OME HD coils are made to hold the extra weight and they will not sag but a 1/2" maybe, and then you can do a strut plate and a clevis and be even higher.

If you are loading up the front end with extra weight then definately go with the OME HD coils, even with the ARB bumper I was sitting 2.5" settled, above stock height with plastic bumper, I didn't even bother with the clevis.

A suspension lift is always better then a spacer lift, and having run a spacer lift for 2 years prior to changing it out, I would never recommend using spacer lift and in fact would try to talk any friends thinking of buying one out of it. Which I really shouldn't be doing since I have a 2.5" spacer lift sitting in the garage that I need to get rid of.

The advice I was given in regards to maximum height was to not exceed 3" from stock height unless you want to start changing out alot of other front suspension/steering components + brake lines etc etc.

If I was in your position I would go with the OME HD front coils + clevis to get 3" in the front, OME HD in the back with an extra ISO or two to get 3" in the back, which will be more than enough to accomodate your tire size.

Let's say using 1 ISO, would what you described here sit level?

when I did my OME HD coils and nothing else I was 2.5" front and rear. Then I did a front clevis and 1 rear upper iso and it came up to 3" front and rear.

EDIT: each rear upper iso will provide 1/2" and you will need a minimum of two, one for each side, and it is highy recommended that you do not surpass 3 isos on each side counting the OEM one that is already there.
