2.5" lift is getting a little saggy with all my upgrades.

I have a 2.5" teraflex base spring lift kit on my JKU. After adding the seat delete platform and all of the shelving, bumpers, winch, gear ect... The lift looks a little lower than it use to be.

Can I get away with adding 3/4" or 1" leveling kit / coil spacers without upgrading much else to regain the normal lift height? Not much fender gap especially in the rear!

I have extended sway bar links to install but am I missing anything else? Brake line extension required? Shocks?

I currently have Bilstein B8 5100 Series Shocks for 1.50 to 3-Inch Lift and everything is adjustable on the front end.

The leveling kit should bring it back up to normal 2.5" height or a little higher. I was just asking if there were any surprises when going over 2.5" I need to prepare for.

You could easily use a 3/4" or 1" spacer to give it a bump in ride height. More importantly however, are you happy with the ride when fully loaded? You may want to consider getting a spring with a higher spring rate if you're constantly riding when fully loaded and especially so if you're often riding on the bumpstops over bumps and obstacles.

Thanks for the reply!

I havnt ever felt it bottom out on the stops. Its always rode about the same before and after the mods, but I do notice a little nicer firmer ride when its fully loaded. Its not as "bouncy" when loaded if that makes sense?
