Is there a puck for ~1.5" rear lift?

[Atrus]

Here's the deal -

I currently have the Rusty's 3/4" spacer lift in the front (So, 1.5" or so actual lift) and I have (2) upper isolators on each side in the rear for 1" of lift. Overall, I am fairly happy with the stance as it has just a slight forward rake.

I'm looking into new tires and need an alignment. It's actually cheaper to get 245/75's. So, I was considering a small clevis lift (.25"-.38", netting .5"-.75" lift) on the front before I get it aligned. As such, I'd like to bump the rear up another .5"-.75".

I can remove one or two of the iso's to get to the desired height since I am sure there is no .5" spacer. Is there a 1" or 1.5" rear lift spacer available? Everything I see is 2.5", which is higher than I want to go. I could throw something under the lower iso, but my fear is that the spring could slip off the lower "hump" that is there stock.

Thanks!

don't put anything under lower iso. There is nothing to hold them in place.. very dangerous

Hold on
in another thread you comained of poor ride and noise from tires
now you are wanting to put on a size that commonly comes in a
10 ply or LR E
these will ride worse and make more noise
the best thing in your situation would be to do the lift
so that the larger tire can fit
but check out discount tire
for a 255/70 r16

Funny as I ran two lower isolators on the bottom for over a year, with BUMPSTOPS which you should have anyways they will not go anywhere, also even with my lift and ranchos the spring comes a little loose but not nearly enough for it to fall out

plus you could always buy my two 265-70-16 BFG-AT Treadwrights for 100 bucks buy two more from treadwright and have a full set for under 275!!!!

That's my thought.

Again, things get blown out of proportion and stretched. I have no problem at all with ride quality. I am perfectly happy there. I was perfectly happy with these tires until fairly recently when they got very loud. I'm not going with the 10 ply, I'll be going with the passenger tire per everyone's recommendations and discussions in that thread. Truth be told, I could probably get the 10 ply and be perfectly happy but I am not going to chance it.

I just want you all to understand I am not prissy or whining about having an aggressive tire on a KJ. I don't have a ton of 4x4 experience, but I'm decently proficient with vehicles. I was happy with the AT2's at first, and I was plenty pleased with the BFG TKO's that I had on my full size Bronco. These tires are loud - I'd be willing to bet they are very close (or even more) in noise to most M/T's. They are actually vibrating things in my Jeep. My seat belt trim and glove box door vibrate like mad. The tires actually can make the rear view mirror vibrate a little.

I appreciate the suggestion for the 255 - I'll look into that. My only concern there is that I rub on my swar bar with 245's. 255's certainly won't help with that. I need to check more carefully and get out the measuring tape, but I think the 245/70 will fit with the pinch weld addressed.

Correct if I am wrong, but I don't really see how a P-rated 245/75 is going to ride rougher and noiser than a P-Rated 245/70 or 255/70. Shouldn't they all be very similar?

265? No way I could fit that!

i stand corrected mudd

Good luck finding a "P" rated 245/75R16 tire that's worth a darn.

I've met this dude, I can vouch for him. He's tough. I've heard this tire whine at 30MPH and I was surprised as heck as to how loud they were at even this low speed. It really does sound like a mud tire.
