When 2 minutes of explanation is more informative than a day at school.

[@dustingibson2407]

I decided to go with the Daystar 2" spacer lift for my JL. It is the most complete spacer kit that I could find. Most entry level kits don't include longer lower control arms, but this does. I will eventually swap out some pieces but this gets me to the point I need right away, for a great price.

Got my RE Spring lift from you guys 2 years ago and still loving it!

[@davidmassey7847]

Good info, and thanks for the videos. One thing to keep in mind -- at least with the JL -- spring lift heights are based on a Rubicon. A 2.5" spring lift on a Sport might be ~4" over stock depending on options.

I started with 2.5" spacer lift on my JKU. Ran it for over a year and it worked for me. I just recently upgraded to 3.5" Rock Krawler springs that I bought from Northridge 4x4. I can't believe the difference in how my jeep rides now.

[@reefgratos2035]

The reason i did not choose new coil lift is because 1 the price and 2 i did not want to upgrade my 32inch ko2 tires .. adding a 2.5 terraflex coils could become a 3-4 lift total .. my 32 inch tire woulda look too small.. with spacers its cheap and you get exactly the height you're looking at. Not to mention garage door clearance. On. JkU, i did some offroad (stock difficulty level, uphill downhill in the mountain) with 2.5 coil spacers , no sway link disconnected, tires down to 14 psi, 4x4L and H.. 2 adults and 2 kids, the jeep did great. It was a 3-4 hours shaky offroad condition.. millions of rocks were atleast 8inch big

haha yea I just got a 'three inch' lift by installing a rear ARB 0.5" lift in an '90s Pathfinder. Crazy how they sag over the years and you just don't realize how much until replacing the spring! Now I got hella rake going on, so gotto swap the springs in the front along with the struts. It'll be worth it where I off-road though!

Great information! Deciding on what is best for my daily driver made easier by Northridge 4x4! Thanks for the information!

[@popeye9995sp]

very informative, better than most 20 min videos out there.

[@greyhairedgramps]

My LJ has the OME ZJ/LJ springs, with 3/4" pucks up front.

[@Hallowsaw]

Also a spacer will keep your ride quality very silmilar to OEM. So for example, an outback has a smooth ride and to make it better for the light adventuring people do with them a spacer would be better. If they went with a spring setup, it would be hands down a worse ride on the highway.

[@matthammers3786]

Dude, your videos are awesome. Thank you for making them.

[@lenny351]

This helps me. I bought a new Gladiator and want to put a mild lift on it. This will help make my decision!!!

[@waray2x]

thanks for this, trying to decide what to get

[@con_Auto]

I would say spacer for look, spring for function

[@clarkkent4022]

thank you for this honest review.. you deserve a tonne of likes

[@brianpatrickcork4513]

Thank you. Solid video. I have a 2020 2DR Rubicon. I went with 33" tires (tried BF Goodrich K02s, BF Goodrich KM3s, Falken Wildpeak ATs, and Milestar Patagonia MTs). I upgraded my shocks to Falcon because it was fun. Somehow that gave me an added 2". No idea why unless I have them set too stiff. I now have 40" from the ground to bottom of the stock fender. I then upgraded my lower Control Arms with a set of adjustable Rusty Offroad. I am now going with 35" Mickey Thompson MTZs. So, I am looking at springs. I also have a set of SteerSmart endlinks I want to try (they are 9" so you have to have at least 2.5" lift). I am looking at upgrading my stock springs to 2" (most likely Rusty Offroad, unless advised not to). After watching this video, baring in mind I have a Rubicon with its naturally higher stance) I am pondering if I should go with another 1" coil spacer or a 3" coil spring set. I realize it may strike some people as ludicrous, but I would go to all of this trouble just to make the SteerSmart endlinks work because its a puzzle. Any thoughts, ideas, anecdotes, grave reservations, or even a chocolate chip cookie recipe?

[@eluv201]

Dude thanks for explaining this for us. Now I get.

[@Moon222]

Fox 2.0 has the best spring if you use your car as a daily driver.

[@patrickrichmond9896]

Awesome video. Now here is what I am trying to find out what my friend needs to boost the height of his Ford C-Max. The C-Max is just a tough over 63 inches. And I want to boost the body up to where at least my seat is raised up by an additional 18 inches. So how many spacer lifts would I need to give it that boost? And while this is about lifting a vehicle, but inside the vehicle, I would love to find out how much lift I would need using the spacer lifts.
