    Opinions and experience with suspension spacer lifts

    Hey all, I’m thinking about doing a 1.5inch suspension spacer lift on my 98 TJ. I’m currently running 31’s on stock suspension. What have been your experiences with spacer lifts? Pros and cons? I’m wanting to go that route and not a full suspension lift for cost reason.
