I have a 01 sporty 4dr and the tail lights o mine look dif then yours.Maybe they used dif lights on the 2dr/4dr I'm sure. I've had it since it was new, having initially leased it in November of 2000. I think they did use different tail lights for the 2dr/4dr models. I actually liked the look of the 4dr tail lights better and considered switching them out. Maybe I need to look into that now that they should be easier to find in the yards... 01 Convertible; Electric Fan; 3" Up Your Kia lift spacers; Tj 104's; 31x10.5x15's on Centerlines; Rear LSD. GONE, all I have left are a few spare parts and the wheels. Re: Lifting a kia sportage? Look here first! Also tire size recommendations.

The 2" spacer is a 4" lift and the 1.5" is a 3" lift! 2" spacer & tj106 spring = 4" of lift, 1.5" spacer & tj104 spring = 3" lift.

I Thought the first thread here said the 2 inch spacers gave the three inch lift.... 2001 sporty, tj rear springs with rav4 shocks, ford alloys machined centers with 30x9.5x15, front spacers. more upgrades to come.

Only the orig poster or Moderator can change it. Might want to check with Everet to see if he can help identify your springs. Or, since the rears are so easy you could just put them in and see how much lift you have and go from there.
