Re: Lifting a 97 Jeep Wrangler
Spacers alone do not make the ride rougher. Stiffer springs and shocks
will, as well as adding too much air to your tires.

Then you put your lift on improperly. Have someone who knows what they
are doing check your work. It is physically impossible to change the
spring rate by adding spring spacers. Counter sue me.

Re: Lifting a 97 Jeep Wrangler
I can't see how 'your' spacers changed the stock ride unless something
is wrong. I have installed them and 'not' had the issues.
Are you 'sure' your shocks are set right and are not limiting the
travel? Did you also put in the extended bumpstops with the spacers?
If the shocks can limit the travel by being the wrong length or because
of missing bumpstops, you 'will' break something.
I have seen shocks snapped off, I have seen shocks punched through the
floor into the back seat, I have seen frames snap where the shock mounts
all because of improper length shocks.

When I put on the Skyjacker 2"spacer lift the shocks that come with
will be the proper size right?
Where do the bump stops go?
Which shocks are better Gas or Hydraulic?
