Since the first Jeep rolled off of the assembly line, people have sought inexpensive ways to lift them. As a general rule, a basic Jeep JK suspension lift will create more ground clearance and allow you to fit on larger tires. Both ideal for anyone who’s looking to spend more time on the trail. As the Jeep platform has evolved, so has the way we lift them. Starting in 1997, the Jeep Wrangler moved to a multilink suspension configuration that used coils to support the weight of the vehicle. This is still what is used today and what we see under the Jeep Gladiator. Moving to a coil-sprung suspension opened up room for a new era of inexpensive suspension lifts via the coil spacer. While coil spacers appeared long before the Wrangler platform, the 1997 to 2006 TJ platform made them a commonplace item on the market. A coil spacer, or budget boost lift as they are often called, uses either a steel or polyurethane spacer to raise the vehicle. These typically sit on top of the vehicle’s existing coil spring and generally go up to 2.5 inches in height. The big draw to these kits is that they are extremely low cost. In fact, many can be picked up for $200 or less. With just about every suspension manufacturer offering some level of spacer-style lift, prices and included components can vary wildly from one company to the next. In this video we are looking at why coil spacers lifts are so common along with installing a 2.5 inch spacer lift on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. //Follow along in article format at: https://www.drivingline.com/articles/... //Subscribe and Like for more: https://www.youtube.com/drivingline?s...
