Re: coil spacer lift
 
I have an 02 TJ. Installed the Skyjacker 2" spacers with the nitro shocks. I
had to also had to lower the transfer case.
I just found out i have to install the Track bar Relocation bracket, the
rear end is shifted an inch over to the right.

I am happy with the performance on the trials, I just took it out 2 weeks
ago for the first time, I had great articulation on the rocks. Email me
direct, i will send you a nice pic.

When i researched originally, most people told me with the 2" spacers all i
would need is the spacers the bumpstops and the Shocks. Hindsight, i would
spend the few extra bucks and get a kit that comes with everything (springs,
transfer case drop, track bar bracket (or a new adjustable bar). All said
and done think i spent close to $600 for the "economy" 2 inch lift.

Honestly, i dont have any regrets, my first jeep, my first lift.... Live and
learn. ... I also learned, buy an Oil Pan Skid plate.

Hope i Helped,

JOHN

They say "Every Jeep is different". Most people who do a 2" spacer don't
have to drop the skid. Bad luck, I'm afraid.
