If I add .5 spacers to already 2.5 lift I’m sure it won’t affect anything but what if I add 1.5 spacers to the 2.5 lift what will it affect or what will I have to add to run without problems.

Lift kit is the 2.5” RC COIL SUSPENSION LIFT WITH SHOCKS.

Check that your shocks are compatible with that lift height, and also your sway bar endlinks or spacers.

So right now I’ve got 2.5 coil spring lift with Fox 2.0 smooth bodies which are good for 2-3in lift, plus I have the JKS quick disconnect sway bar links which are good for 2.5-6 in lift....So by adding 1/2 inch spacer should be just right @OffRoadWarehouse

You are all set! Those are the main things affected by lift height. If you have any issues with the steering feeling more “flighty” you can look into control arms or correction brackets but you should be fine if you had no issues at 2.5”

I do plan on purchasing a complete control set up for front and rear upper and lower.

I just installed a JKS Jspec 2.5" lift on my 2018 JLUR w 35s and it previously had a leveling kit on it, which was a shock extension bracket and a 2" coil spacer. I left the spacer on cause I didn't have the stock spacer. Everything else I installed per the instructions. Not sure if my Jspec shocks will be ok with this. Any ideas? It does rake upward just a bit too much in the front. I'd love to just put an inch spacer above the rear coils to balance it out. Thoughts on this?
