Any spacer will do the trick, just find one you like and call it a day. Personally I like the RE spacers but there isnt a whole lot that companies can do to differ spacers.

Never installed the RE spacers I've got they are riding around in my spare parts box. Haven't felt they were needed yet. Don't have any rubbing and very little sag in the front yet. But I got 'em when the time comes.

.my lift is a little bit under 3 inches and am looking just for a little more clearence. then after that all my money will be into SYE. with the bastard pack you can combine the springs in the disired order to get the right hight right? and ill look at the spacers....thanks guys. do you guys recommend doing a spacer though. any downside? i know my shocks are long enough!

The rear spacers that are depicted there are for a wrangler/GC. Our XJ's have leafs in the rear not coils. For leafs you would need to get extended shackles.

I'm running what a few people here and You are running -

Base lift was a 3" Rough Country

added - 2" Teraflex Shackles

and 2" Rubicon Express coil spacers.

Also removed stock flairs and chopped the fenders. Wow.

He has a d35, but if it was a 8.25 since its a 96 it would be 27 spl.


Quick Reply: 1 inch spacers??
