Is there any real quality concerns when buying the 130 dollar 2'' coil spacer off ebay as compared to the few hundred dollar ones also listed on the bay....
Trying to buy my little sister a 00-03 grand cherokee for her birthday. The only thing we have discussed that neither of us like is the front end sitting lower. I was thinking a 1.5-2'' coil space should leve the jeep out nicely.Not really wanting to go with big tires Going to stick with a Falken RockyMountain ATS LT225/75R16D1 (29.5'').
Here is the jeep im currently looking at http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/2781822355.html
Well the 2'' budget lift kits from rough country seem decent. 240 bucks with 4 new shocks but lifting the back 2'' will just make it un level again lol.
Contact dahrkstorm on eBay ( yea thats how it is spelled) he has 3/4 " front spacers to level the front out for like $30. They are good quality as any other manufacturer.
3/4'' is all it takes to level the front out? It looked like much more to me.... I just did a 3'' on my titan and it still sits lower in the front I just don't wanna do it twice.
The WJ is only supposed to sit about 1 inch lower in the front then the rear. 18 inches from hub to fender in the front, 19 inches from the hub to fender in the rear. So a 3/4 should level it out. However if the jeep is sagging... you may want to look into some other options. I like how it sits from factory, so when you have more people in it or loaded with cargo it will then sit level and keep the front end on the ground.
Thats true. However it's for my baby sister. I see it being loaded down with cargo, hardly ever. Same goes for friends. The only thing its getting is a subwoofer
What I did for a bit more height, I did 3/4 spacers all the way around and did spring spacers (sit in between the actual coils) and it gave me more lift all around and then some more in the rear.
Take some hub to fender measurements and see where you are at.

Im going to wait and see what year and style I end up getting here. Some of them I have found forsale I like as is. Once I throw those Falken ATs on there I think it will give it a decent look. Then go from there on the lift.
Yes they are bad. I have seen coils break from them. Essentialy all of the weight of the vehicle is on the springs, and then you put those coils spacers in and then all the weight is on the location of the coils space. about a 2'' area.
