I really don't want to lift my JL and have to get new wheels and tires, plus lose even more mpg. I've seen some people post about spacers and I'm curious to know what it does. Does it give a lifted appearance? Does it affect off roading and function? Help! Opinions please. I offroad my Jeep but it's also my daily driver so I need opinions.

Yes you can use coil spacers, it will raise it some, it just depends on how much you want. There’s several spacer kits available, just do a search and you’ll probably get to many choices. :).

It's hard to "appear" lifted without taller tires and a coil spring spacer lift would allow the clearance for that. It will work but no where near as functional as spring and shock real lift kit.

If your referring to a wheel spacer, yeah, it will only push the wheel outward.

Les Schwab has a 2" spacer lift installed for $425 should be one close to your in So Cal, they will also do the alignment if needed.

I don't want much! Just a tad bit. Thank you so much!

Hmm... Definitely something to think about.
