Yup!!!
The kit doesnt look like a big lift when you look at the spacers.... but the spacers lift the control arms closer to the pivoting joints which turns into more lift. Then with the 32" jeep takeoffs... you get about another 1" (2 " total diameter gain I think... could be wrong). So the 1.5" and 2.5" gain gets 2.5 and 3.5 more clearance respectively ( with tires).
Not bad for the price... I was into paying only like 200 $ once I sold my stock tires. Actually did a bit better cause I got 5 tires and rims from the jeep. I took the extra tire and mounted it on a matching one from the wreckers (sold rims too). Now just gotta reroute my exhaust to fit the spare in the bottom cause its too big!
Ps. You cant have a smaller spare tire... your abs wont let you drive (learned that the hard way)
