It’s just a self install but I will give a run down of what I’ve done so far to this Jeep , it’s very bare bone but meets in the middle , pics will be uploaded! This is also my first post ever !

I wouldn't advise adding any additional spacers with the RRO (it's already max'd out) as it could negatively affect the CV joints.

I think STU Murchison coils from Australia provide one inch of lift as opposed to the 2 1/8" of the Rocky Road lift, and only know of exactly one guy to run both at the same time, and he had his Patriot weighted down so heavy with TAG bumpers and recovery gear that even the stiff aftermarket lifting coils sagged a bit. And he eventually removed the lifting kits because he wanted his Patriot to last longer. Pretty sure he's not on here though, and honestly I'm not even sure he's still on JPATW(Jeep Patriot Around The World) anymore because I left facebook two years ago.

DIY Spacer Lift Kit w/ STUCoils - Installed

I put these on a few months back along with a new set of Monroe struts and STUCoils. I already had STUCoils, which gave about an inch over stock on my FDII but I wanted to get more lift without any binding of the inner CV joints (especially the front drivers side) when running disconected...

Yeah, spacers and lifts tend to put stress on suspension and drivetrain components, but if you're going to have fun with it, that comes with increased maintenance. Seems a shame to get mud on it, but . . . mud is Jeep bling!
