That's the info I was looking for. I'm going with TeraFlex BB, half inch spacer to eliminate rake, and front discos, keeping factory wheels and tires.

So there's no issue with the 2.5 inch lift and using the factory rear links?

 

Hello
I´m going with the new TeraFlex BB with longer back links and 2" wheelspacer with the factory 16" Rims and 265x75 16"tires there is no problem with rubbing ore anything.
I´m so happy with the 2,5"BB

 

Hey I am also in Germany.. What city?

 

I installed this kit last night. It did work, but I was not completely satisfied. I would suggest purchasing longer shocks and not using the shock extensions. Some kits may not have any issues, but my front shock extensions were not acceptable.

The first issue that we ran into was the passenger side front shock was pretty rusty and broke when we tried to uninstall it. I was unable to find any shocks for the JK in Houston and nearby neighboring cities. What we ended up doing was modifying a TJ shock with the broken stock and were able to provide a temporary solution.

The second issue I ran into was the threading on the front shock extensions. We could not find a nut that would not strip these. The stock nuts didn't work and we went through the entire selection of nuts at a nearby hardware store. We got them on, but one of them is stripped out pretty good. I definitely would not wheel in this condition.

We played around with the brake line relocation bracket and do not foresee and clearance issues with it. We moved some of the plastic clips around on the ESP wiring to provide more slack for axle movement.

On the front I installed a set of JKS Quicker Disconnects (those things are cool) and have no clearance issues in the front. On the rear I used the links provided by Teraflex and mounted them on the inside and not on the outside like there are stock. After doing this and turning some bolts around I believe we took care of any clearance issues.

I followed the instructions on this website which were very beneficial. Thank you very much WOL for taking the time to post these. I did not disconnect any of the track bars; because of this I did not experience any noticeable axle shift of changes in stearing.

I am happy with this kit and promote it's purchase, but would advise to go with longer shocks and not with the extensions. My problem is that I tried to save money by ordering the extensions and now I have to buy longer shocks anyways.

 

In the for what it's worth category...

I have a BB on my Wrangler Unlimited X with 33" Open Country AT's on factory 17" rims. After the initial install there I had an issue with the sway bar rubbing the brake lines. The outfit that installed it fixed that by replacing the brake lines and adding some bend in them to clear the sway bar. After reading this thread I stuck my head under the back end again to check for rubbing. The brake lines are fine but there has been some tire rubbing on the sway bar on both back tires. Looks like I will be adding some spacers to relieve this issue. Once it stops raining here I will get a few pics to post.

Or at least I was hoping to give one

It seems that UPS cannot find both of my packages when I drove to the terminal to pick them up. I ordered the kit w/ shocks and it looks as if the shocks are MIA.

I do not recall seeing a LIFTED UPS Delivery Truck?

 

I have an LOD front bumper and plan to go with a winch (about 80 to 87lbs). Would you recommend the HD coils or just the regular BB and use a spacer? The HD kit looks to be around 625 shipped and the regular kit w/o the springs are 484 shipped.

I'm just afraid that the HD coils will place my front end up in the air and I dont' want that. Just want it to sit level.

 

whaaat? where are you looking at this?

youre talking about the tf bb right?

i got mine w/o shocks shipped to my door for 225 from northridge

 

Good ingenuity there with the bolts. I just don't think that it's good engineering on any manufacturer's part to have to include grinding and such. Ought to be better engineered. Just my opinion.

 

The TeraFlex 2.5" BB Is working GREAT so far.. there was a reply earlier that said to put sway bar links on the inside to prevent them from making contact with the "factory" wheels, this solved the problem.

- I hope somone who wants a good lift wont get discouraged with all the questions because it is really simple to install and it looks great!

- I am experiencing no problems, besides not installing the sway bar links on the inside in the first place! (oops..)
