This is what I did. I kept my spacers but got Fox 2.0 external reservoirs for a 2-3" lift and got rid of the shock extensions. Rides fantastic.I asked this question and was surprised by some responses.
I thought basically any aftermarket lift that included control arms would allow far more articulation than the OEM rubber clevite bushings, and be superior for crawling. OEM isn’t bad for NVH suppression.
Somebody showed me a pic of their spacer lifted jeep totally flexed out so it’s not like OEM arms won’t do it, just not quite as extreme as like a Metalcloak or Johnny joint or advanced bushing design like teraflex alpine or RK adventure pro, etc.
I’ve got an AEV spacer lift and geometry brackets and am very happy. I want to upgrade from the Rubicon shocks, so my next decision is either stick with spacers and upgrade shocks, or also upgrade arms and springs as well. To be honest I probably would be perfectly satisfied with just spacers and upgraded shocks.
I am contemplating moving to a coil lift just because I want a little more lift to 3" instead of just 2.
