Stacking Spacers

[Tncdrew]

Hello all,
I'm looking for just a simple 1" spacer lift for my JL Willys, and to run 285/70-17 KO's...
Can't seem to find a 1" spacer kit.
Can I stack 2ea. 1/2" Teraflex spacers at each corner?
The Jeep sits level in its stock form and I want to keep that.
Thanks in advance!

It's not a lot. You will probably get away with it only being 1". But when I did my 2", it came with extensions for the shocks and sway bar links.

I personally wouldn't do it. That's probably why they don't have 1" spacers? Not sure.

You shouldn’t “need” to raise it for 285’s. I’ve had them on my Sport for 2 years with no issues..

Please do not.

You can. The Teraflex ones are made for that. I bought their kit. I used both rear spacers on just the passenger side and a .05 on each front corner. My Mopar lift sagged a bit on the rear passenger corner after a few years.
I ended stripping everything and going with all new Synergy 4in springs/Falcon Shocks and keeping the Teraflex .05s up front to level her out.

I called Tera Flex before buying 1/2 inch spacers with the intention of stacking them in the rear. They said they were designed to be stacked. I put 2 on each side in the rear and have had it that way for about 20k miles without any issues.

I just installed a 1inch teraflex spacer lift on top of my rubi suspension. It is paired with 1inch metalcloak adjustable bumpstops (hockey pucks) and 2.5in lift bilstein shocks. Oh and mopar lift LCAs.

I used 1/2inch teraflex spacers stacked. I just found out they do make a 1inch spacer and market it for the diesel.... The 1/2inch spacers stack up nicely.

OP you should do what I did. rubicon springs, 1inch spacer lift and bilstein or fox 2.5in shocks. You get the articulation of a 2.5inch coil lift with better center of gravity yet still decent clearance. I love it.

Why not?

They do have 1'' spacers. It is totally fine to stack them. Theyre designed to be stacked. They fit very nicely have nipples to stack in place. He wont need extensions for the shocks. He has Rubicon shocks and his willys is shorter than a Rubicon. Sway bar links are still fine.

This is my Jeep on 33s. Rubi springs, 1inch spacer lift and 2.5in lift shocks.

Thank you!
This is basically the setup I'd like, with the exception I'll keep my stock springs.
Along with the 1" of spacers, I went ahead and bought the Mopar LCA's to improve the steering feel a bit.
I'm only looking to do mild trail duty, and on road use, so these suspension components combined with the 33" (285 series) KO's sound perfect to me.
Not really into the Willys OEM Firestone mud terrains.

Youll be fine. Youll basically be at Rubicon height with the spacers. The only thing to keep in mind is that when you add spacers when you flex your spring will be more compressed than how it is now, so you risk over-compressing the spring. Adding a 1inch bumpstop extension would remedy this.

Why dont you just add some rubi springs? Theyre cheap and it is the same job as installing spacers.

The other thing I found out was the Rubi shocks were too short. Easy to overextend and not enough droop.

 

[Sargeoverland]

Why not?

Because it’s really just not safe.
i tell you what. Send me your address and a few bucks for shipping and I’ll send you my rubicon take off springs.

What are you talking about? Why isnt it safe. I have rubicon springs already and 1inch spacer lift. What isnt safe about it? Have you ever seen the teraflex spacers? They stack together and lock into place nicely.

I recently went on a wheeling trip where I maxed my supension flex constantly and here I am.

@TeraFlex bring some wisdom.
