I am looking to buy the 1.75 spacer lift for my girlfriends 2009 wrangler sahara unlimited as a gift. i have no problem doing the installation, pretty straight forward, have done it on non-jeep vehicles.

is anything else needed? i have read conflicting posts on this forum about shock extenders, new shocks, sway bar extenders, track bars, etc. some say its needed, others say not to.

she just wants the look of the lift. she already has some pretty tall tires on. we go camping once in a while but nothing that requires serious flexing

has anyone had issues with installing the 1.75 lift alone? i just do not want to open a can of worms of things i need to add or fix later.

thanks!

Nothing else is required.

The sway bars may end up out of spec. I did an OEM spring swap plus 3/4 inch spacers for about 2 inches total lift upfront and 1.5 inches in the rear. I moved the rear sway bar links to the front and got new adjustable links for the rear.

Superlift Suspension 5702 - Superlift Superide 2" Spacer Lift for 07-16 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

what if i went a full 2" would i still be ok or will more upgrades be needed?

The only thing to worry about is regretting not going any bigger.. Going up to "a full 2" isn't going to change anything anyone has already stated. You can got 2.5" with minimal geometry correction needed. Many "kits" sell springs, shocks, links at 2.5" and call it a day.

looking at that kit now. comes with the shock extentions and the rear track bar bracket.

i am used to cars that have very few aftermarket choices lol
