While I was installing my lift over the past weekend I forgot to remove the rear spacer from the RC lift I had before.
That had me thinking & wanted to know what you guys thought of this.
Can I run this setup with out causing issues? It would be under the limit with out the bracket right?
The Setup I am talking about is this,
OME HD Springs & Struts up front with 2 Rusty's Off Road 1/4 " spacers
OME HD Shocks & springs in the rear with the RC rear spring spacer

For the front you'll have to put new studs in the strut mount or you won't have enough thread. I personally wouldn't do that since the OME HD + 1 spacer is already ridiculously close to the down travel limit of the suspension, and you're really not going to fit much larger of a tire to make it worthwhile.
I forget, how tall are the rear RC spacers? I thought they were 1.75
I will have to relook to see what size the rear spacer is.

THe edit funtion is failing at this time so will retype my last reply.
I will have to look again at what size of the rear spring spacer that Rough Country uses for their 2 BB lift. I am thinking you might be right with it being 1.75.

Does the rear sit way higher than the front??

it does have a rake right now, because I have not gone back & removed the RC spacer from the rear springs. I also have one of Matt's rear spring spacers in there as well. So it is OME HD Spring with the RC spring spacer & Matt's 1/2 spacer.
Also I only have 1 of Rusty's 1/4 " strut spacer on.
The reason I still have it the way it is right now, is because I will not have a chance to get the jeep in garage again to do the work on it until this weekend.
I do like the lift I got out of it, and I do feel there might be enough threads to put another spacer up front just not sure yet.
I haven't posted after measurements yet because it is dark when I get out of work, and having 2 kids under 4 does not allow me a lot of time in the morning to check.
I will try to get them & post them this weekend.

Looks like you might want to bump up to a bigger size tire now.
Reminds me of Sal's. !
Thanks guys.
