0.75-1" Spring Spacers for JL?

[jericbarg]

That is what I did on the Sahara I just sold. 2 inch front from Summit Enginering, I made my rear spacers. 35's fit perfect and the stance was good. The RC 2.5 kit would be perfect on a Sahara/Sport for 35's.

If I was unable to make my rear spacers I would just go with the RC 2.5 kit, it has everything you probably need and is very reasonable.

Hmmm... seems like there’s a market out there for you to make some money in!

Here’s another thought - how about a Rubi takeoff suspension? What’s that add over stock Sahara, I wonder?

Just bumping this up to see if anyone had seen or heard anything new in the spacer realm. I messaged a few times with Smmit Engineering a bit on eBay and they confirmed they're still waiting on some measurements, so no option from them yet.

Has anyone else come across an spacer options? If so, where and what heights?

I'm still looking too, but nothing out there it seems. Teraflex says "mid summer" before they have anything. Daystar hasn't emailed me back yet.

I'll be doing the front spacers when I get my Rubi and live with that for awhile and then see about a lift later.

I am getting a Sport S and I will put 285/70r17 KO2s on it.

I really like the stance of the Rubicon. Trying to decide whether to go stock height, install a take-off Rubi Suspension, or just do a small spacer lift.

Anyone have any thoughts? I only want to add 1-1.5" total.

I'm in a similar boat as you.

Only thought on the Rubi stance - I also like the Rubi stance (with 35s) - but the more I look, the more I think the high-line fenders are playing tricks with my eyes. It might just be me - but next time you look at one, check to see if the high-line fenders might be impacting it as well. If that's the case (as I suspect it is with me), copying the Rubi lift might not necessarily achieve a match.

That said, I'm still leaning toward a 2/1" front/rear spacer leveling kit (I wish the Mammoth one on ExtermeTerrain would come out for JLs....).

Skyjacker has that 1-1.5" lift out... have you looked at that?

Very interested to see where you land, as I'm looking for something very similar!

You are right that the fenders give it some of the aggressive look. But I think that small bit of height makes a difference. I am going to just talk to my shop about it and see what they recommend. I'll let you know.

I have to get my Jeep first. Supposed to be this week.

Daystar told me on the phone today that they are bringing 3 new JL kits to market in the next couple of weeks. I think a couple of them are already showing up on their website and the third one is supposed to be a small spacer lift around 1" or so which is what I'm waiting on.

Daystar has a 1.5 inch leveling kit on their website but no deatials yet. I’m hoping it’s 1.5 front/1 back. If so I’m in!

Still no detail if it’s 1.5 front or 1.5 back or 1.5 all the way around anyone know!?!?

Shoot! I called Daystar a week or two back to talk about this leveling kit - I remember I wrote it off for some reason after the call, but I can’t remember what that reason was. Sorry!

Daystar's 1.5" kit is front only.

They have a 2.0" kit that does front and rear but it's overpriced in my opinion and there is little to zero accurate information on the Web about what's included in the kit.

Skyjacker has a 1.5" lift for front and rear that is even more overpriced than the Daystar kit.

Why is it so hard for them to just sell a 1" poly spacer for the front and rear of a JL??
