Hey all, I’m planning to do a budget 2 inch RC spacer lift on my 98’. I’ve read lots of mixed reviews about whether this will give me driveline vibrations or not. Curious what people have experienced. Will a 2 inch suspension only lift cause an unpleasant driving experience or will things feel...

I hav I have 31’s on my 98’ 2.5L. I can reach 70 mph on flats and max out at 45mph up hills. This is with stock gears. Power sucked before new wheels, it still sucks after. People are more scared of a mythical power loss than what actually happens. It’s slow stock, it’s still slow with 31’s...

I will admit I reas that upgrade lift and thought it sounded expensive.

I’m not familiar with what is needed to do a tummy tuck. A BL still won’t raise my frame or any components so I’m not sure that’s the avenue that will benefit me off-road.

Thanks for the explanation. That make sense to me. It sounds like I’ll be sacrificing articulation and suspension travel to only gain height. At least I know what I’ll be getting in to. Maybe I’ll wheel it for a while and want to return to the stock setup or add new shock and do a full...

Fantastic summation of what I’m looking for and your advice. Thanks for a really helpful comment.

I am wanting more body clearance when going over rocks specifically. I’m not increasing my tire size because I’m running the 2.5L and I don’t want to move to a 33. I feel that I could use more clearance on trails. I know that my axels won’t be affected by a lift but my frame will have better...

That good to know. I’ll keep that in mind. If I notice a lot of front end noise I’ll pull them. I plan on keeping all of the stock parts in case I don’t like the new spacers and struts.

This makes more sense. That was what I was thinking would be the benefit. Thanks for the input.

I’m not sure what your point is? I’m a little confused by the comment.

Not sure. It’s a 98 with 130k I’m sure they aren’t as tall as they once were. But no egregious sagging.

That’s good to hear. Thanks for the input.

You’re just the type of person I wanted to hear from. Glad it’s working out for you. I’ve been toying with doing the 3/4 or the 1.5”. Your Jeep is great reference for what the 3/4 look like.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I don’t want to go fully down the wheeling rabbit hole with this build. Just a weekend warrior. I’m thinking spacer with new struts will be a good plan based on what I’m reading here.

You’ve don’t it so that makes you more an expert than me. Thanks.

Good to know you consider it a decrease in performance. My thinking on a 1.5inch lift is the stock steering components would still be able to handle that increase in lift. Everything I’ve read says that a 2” lift and higher steering components are necessary. Therefore a 1.5” lift wouldn’t...

Would you say that a spacer lift actually reduces on trail capability because of the reduction of travel? Obviously spacers would lift the frame for more clearance but at what cost to articulation? I don’t want to put a lift on just for the look, I want to increase off-road ability without...

With new shocks, which can be added to the RC spacer lift, will that help decrease coil bind?

Hey all, I’m thinking about doing a 1.5inch suspension spacer lift on my 98 TJ. I’m currently running 31’s on stock suspension. What have been your experiences with spacer lifts? Pros and cons? I’m wanting to go that route and not a full suspension lift for cost reason

Thanks will do.
