    1.5” spacer gives you 3” of lift by the way.

    What size spacers do you have again?

    @Taco critter, I think I’ll go with the 2” spacers...

    You can’t go any higher than 1.5” spacers which gives you roughly 3” Of actual lift. If you go any bigger the upper control arm will contact the coil spring, and put the ball joint at an extreme angle.

    Are 2” rear leafs okay? And do you think my 225/70R15 Cooper Discoverers will look weird with the higher suspension?
