Didn't measure it, but yes - I definitely did at the front bumper. In theory, if you are leveling to zero rake, you are going to get the full lift in front bumper clearance and maybe slightly more since there was negative OEM angle from the wheel to the front bumper (at least thats how I think about the geometry). Of course no increase in axle clearance other than the larger tires that I put on it.
Any loss in mpg?

I got this on Amazon and installed yesterday and got it aligned today!
Works great and ride feels great, no issues and it’s made of aluminum. Within .25inches of front

don’t get the rough country version… it’s plastic! :(

The composite lift blocks work fine. I dont know why people have this idea that since they are composite, they are bad.

Half the people saying "dont buy them, they are plastic" ever used them?

I have, on many jeeps with zero issues. Composites are fine and used all over your vehicle currently and in aerospace applications

I read a comment on reddit from a user who overtightened their puck and it cracked. I know that’s user error but I don’t like the idea of that happening to me

You are not the only one that has made that comment, just to let you know. I have made a very similar reply on similar comments a few times.

I am just trying to make sure people know composite spacers are an acceptable part for a spacer. We use composites on tons of helicopter stuff where i work, besides all the wranglers, cherokees, grand cherokees, and comanches i have lifted using rough country or tera flex composite spacers.


I have been a member of a number of vehicle clubs and since i happen to have a half acre yard and tools, we have done lots of install days at my house. Bmws, vws, jeeps, ford, chevy, dodge, tons of them.
