I have a '99 TJ with a 4" suspension lift (various branded parts). The rear end is sagging some due to extra weight (gas tank skid, spare, bumper, etc.). The front leans a bit to the right. Is it OK to add 1" coil spring spacers to even it out and gain a little height back? I have heard mixed advice. What negatives are there to watch for?

i'm not a coil spring jeep owner but have you done an accurate measurement of the four corners to see exactly how much we are talking about here?

like measure from floor-up at all four ends of your rocker panels and post-up the results?

shit my YJ is not perfect either, here are its dims to bottom of ROCKER:

29", 28 3/4", 30", 31" quite a range of numbers (been bashed a lot)


BUT the dim to the bottom of frame is a constant 24 1/2"

so MY irregularity is all from the frame up. maybe yours is too?

Just throw some 3/4" spacers in there. I had to add some on top of my rear springs because of my hard top, and I use one of those plug in receiver baskets when I go on a run, and it made the front end pop up.
