I just recently installed a 2” on my xk. It seems to have raised the front more than 2” I did install new struts that might have raised it an inch. I was wondering if they make 1” spacers so I can lower it a little. It looks weird driving down the road like when a trucks lift is higher in the front lol.

I put the kid on last Friday so I’ve been driving it for about six days not too much though only a few miles a day. It’s from supreme suspensions. I had their brand on an old suburban and Tahoe that I had no problems with so I thought to give them another try. Probably should’ve just ordered the rough country one

Maybe just raise the rear the amount you need as long as your upper control arm is not at a too radical angle? I see all lifts are not rated the same. Some lifts have a 2" spacer that will result in a 3 - 4 inch actual lift when installed while others are less then 2" spacer that will result in a 2 inch lift after installation. It all has to do with the changes in the suspension geometry.

Which struts are you getting 1" lift from? Bilstein 5100s are + 3/4" on the liwest setting, and i wasnt aware of any others.
