I’m sure this has been posted before but I cannot find the page to save my life. I’ve got a JLU Sport with 33s that hasn’t been lifted yet and it rubs on the trails. Looking to throw on a 1.5in spacer lift but want to see how it will look. I’m not a huge fan of a big gap. It’s technically 2in in the front and 1.5in rear.
Can someone show their setup like this or send me a link to that thread?

Thanks!

I would also appreciate photos of this. I’ve been looking at the teraflex spacer lift

Here you go. 33's on a Sport Altitude before and after a Teraflex 1.5" spacer lift:

Thank you!! That looks perfect! Did you replace the LCAs? How’s the ride after the lift install?

1-5-2” does not need lower control arms if I remember correctly. 2.5 and up you will
Need control arms or the caster correction washers

I have the LCA's, but haven't installed them because it drives perfectly. I might do it anyway, but I'm in no hurry. Rides the same as before, but the 33's downgraded the ride from the stock 32's. I'm very happy with all of it. The Jeep just looks right to me now. I had about 1" of noticeable rake that is now a not noticeable .5".

I’ve already put on the 33s which definitely affected the ride but not horribly. And I haven’t had any rubbing until I hit some actual trails the other week. I bought the LCAs but I’m not convinced I need them.

I only had minor rubbing on the rear fenders when I ran 33” tires on my sport at full tuck. If you want a small lift without having to change anything.
If you are looking for a 1-2” lift for your sport then grab a set of rubicon springs for 100 bucks or less on the forums. Only takes about an hour to install them And you keep the stack ride and gain about 1.75” of lift.
