    Looking for pictures to get an idea.

    I found some 2 inch leveling spacers on eBay $60

    I don't want to see fat bobs kit with the rear done...doesn't help me and there's a billion pics on here of them

    Here's what 1.75" looks like with 30x9.5-15 tires.

    Thanks Navin I love that custom fab you did.
    I found some spacers on eBay that claim to give a 2" made in Irvine, Ca by Custom Tech. I can't find anyone that has it on their truck.

    Yes sir
    Yea this ^^. If you're just driving in the city, a spacer will work fine to clear bigger tires and for aesthetics, but if you're planning on off roading I would not recommend a spacer, something like bilsteins can be purchased for like $150-200 for a set of front shocks and can be adjusted to 2 inches I believe to give you that lift your after. In fact billies are better and they're the same price as spacers/ you won't get the strain that spacers cause

    I couldn't find adjustable length Bilsteins for the 5 lug? Did I miss them or are they just available for the 6 lug 4x4 Tacos?

    I had a 2" budget boost lift on my
    JK Jeep too, and a 1" body lift, 4.88 gears on 33-37" tires and it saw pretty severe off road. The spacers were never an issue.

    from what i have read only the 6 lug can fit 5100's in front and no adjustable shocks for the 5 lug front exist. Spacers are our only option without spending $2k+

    Yeah, that's what I thought. I searched for them and realized guys were giving advice for 6 luggers.

    I don't worry about th spacers, my son is beating the snot out of my old JK and it's taking it in stride. It's a 90% off roader now. If you could break a spacer, he'd have done it by now!

    Yes sir
    Oh sorry, didn't realize you have a 5 lug. Also spacers don't necessarily break on the 6 lug tacos atleast, it's the strain they put on other components. You're just inserting a piece of metal on top of your coils rather than having longer coils or shocks. Just my 2 cents

    You can run spacers without issue 97.3% of the time.. But yea maybe go with a combo of a 1" spring spacer and 1" strut spacer so your only limiting the travel of your shock 1" in either direction.. as apposed to 2" in one single direction. You still get a 2" total lift.
