tj RC 2.5" Lift, with/without 3/4" spacer in front
hey everyone. im sorry if this has been posted. i know there are lots of rc threads and i just cant look through them all. eventually, i will be ordering the 2.5" rough country lift for my stock tj. im trying to decide if i should get the 3/4" spacer for the front. my front bumper is stock and no winch but eventually i hope that will change. i am looking to see what it looks like WITH and WITHOUT the front spacer. please say if you have the spacer or not and what size tires. thank you, this is very much appreciated.

no spacers here. there is bit of rake with just the stock bumper, but honestly, i hardly notice it. however if you do plan to put on a heavier bumper and winch, the spacer is almost a must.
here are some pics ![]() ![]() ![]() next to a stocker ![]() |

looks good, thanks. do u think a spacer would lift the front higher than the back though? yours looks just about perfect and now im thinkin the front would be too high with a spacer

thanks
with the stock bumper, it may be a bit high. but once you throw on a heavier bumper and a winch, you will want the spacer. if you dont plan on running a a new bumper or a winch any time soon, then dont worry about the spacer. but say if you do plan to have one in the next month or so, then id go ahead and get the spacer and save the trouble of putting on the lift kit, then having to redo the front once you get the heavier equipment on the front. |

I left my stock isolator in and I would put the 3/4 spacer in if I were you.

This is with front 3/4" spacers on the RC 2.5" coils. I have a Rock Hard front bumper and Warn XD9000i winch on 33" BFG M/T's. I may go to a 1" or 1.25" spacer on the front when I go to the RC 4" X-lift later in the month to get more clearance on the front. I rubbed a bit too much last week with the sway bay disco'ed. (Oh, I do have a 1" BL also)

I have a 2'' BB now and I plan on upgrading to the Rough Country 2.5, but my rear springs seem to be fused onto the perches. Anyone know how I can free them? Thanks!

spacers only up front to counteract sagging caused by heavy armor
