Just put a set of 33's on my Jeep with the 3.5 RE kit and just barely rub when the Jeep is fully loaded.

Was wondering if I could simply add some spacers and shackles in the rear to give that extra little boost.

Thanks guys!

The only issue you will probably have is that your ride is gonna get real rough because of the angle your Control arms will be at. I would also get a new track bar bracket or an adjustable track bar.

I would like to know the same thing. I am in the same situation.

I do have the RE adj. track bar and know I will have to get it re aligned.

Now I am worried about my shocks. I have OME shocks and don't want to spend money to replace a set that has 500 miles on them.

The OME shocks say "long travel" on the box.....think I will be o.k.?

I put a 2inch spacer and a 2inch block in my old one...i had the RE regular trackbar...the only thing i had to buy other then the spacer and block was new rear shocks.

So new rear shocks are required to add onto a RE 3.5 kit?

If you already have money invested in shocks, you could always add a spacer at the top of the shock and bumpstop(rear) the same height as the shackle lift. In the front, the spacer would be on the bottom of the shock.
