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?

Posting a follow up just because everyone hates dead end threads. I ended up going with a 1" teraflex coil spacer in the rear and a 3/4" Rough country in the front. This gave me a little more than the origial lift gaining an aditional 1.75 inches of fender clearance in the rear and 1.25" in the front. The stance looks much better and all the sag is gone.

The only additional thing I needed was the extended sway bar links for the rear and adjustable quick disconnects for the front. The JKS brake line relocation brackets I purchased wernt necessary but I plan on throwing them on anyways.

Looks way better now!
