Spacer lift recommendations

[JTJeep]

I’ve decided to have a spacer lift installed on my JLU Sport S. I want to stay at 2” or less to keep my warranty intact and the Mopar 2” lift kit is too high for the 33” KO2’s and Rubicon takes offs I’ve already installed. I’ve narrowed it down to a 2”Daystar lift kit installed by the dealer, or a Teraflex 2” spacer kit with shock extensions put together with Teraflex parts installed by a local shop. I’m new to this stuff and would appreciate the opinions of those who know a great deal more than I do. Thanks in advance.

Spacers are “eh ok…” Cheap, effective, yes…
But — Rubi takeoff suspension all the way! Ask @blnewt - he is da man. ?

I actually have a Rubicon suspension off a 4 cylinder (mine is a 3.7), but I’m getting mixes messages. Most I’ve talked to in person say that the gain in lift is minimal and not worth it. But a lot of folks here swear by it.

I'd probably do the Teraflex spacer lift, for no particular reason.

I got ~2.5 inches from it. Just check your part numbers and lett’r rip ?

These are the parts I have. As far as I can tell the springs should work, not sure about the shocks.

Those parts should give you some lift, yes. The ones you really want for max lift are the 60/61-90/91 spring set (4 dr rubi with hard top and tow pkg), or a set from a diesel. I actually was the first to use a 4xe takeoff suspension, and it worked great. Again, I’ll defer to @blnewt our resident rubi takeoff professor. But what you got should give you a solid 1.25 to 2 inches. And the rubi takeoffs an upgrade vs the stock sport / pucks.
