Not sure I've introduced her yet. 144k, 33's and a 3" BL (soon to be removed)

To be replaced with a more reasonable body lift (1" - 1.25")?

Nice TJ, welcome.

2" OME springs, I guess a smaller BL if necessary

Nice clean looking TJ! With only a 2" suspension lift, you will for sure need that 1" to 1.25" body lift to clear your 33" tires. Good decision to get rid of that 3" body lift.

Nice Jeep. I think your dog is ready to go for a ride.

Well damn... I may need a bigger lift then.

For offroading with 33's, a 3" suspension lift plus a 1" body lift is pretty darned optimal. 4" of total clearance is the goal, achieving that with the 3" SL plus 1" BL gives a lower center of gravity, and avoids the additional (and more expensive to cure) vibration issues a 4" SL gives over a 3" SL.

Well I already have the 2" OME springs. Can I remove the BL, and add a 1" BL, ome springs, and a coil spacer?

Nice looking TJ. @Chris has said the OME springs are closer to 2.5" so that and a 1.25 BL should work with the correct bumpstop set up. That and/or I couldn't see an issue adding a 1" spacer to the mix.
