Default Teraflex 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit Question

Will the kit work off the bat with the current shocks? (Rubicon Unlimited 12).

Basically wondering if it comes with the OEM shock extensions or do i have to buy them separately. Thanks.

It works with the factory shocks. I've been running it for about a year now.

I see you have 1.5 wheel spacers.. do you need it only for the front or the 2 back wheels also? thanks.

It depends on your tire size. You may not need them. You need to get all four if you do. Aftermarket wheels with less backspace will do the same thing.

You will need 4 wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels

Going over 285/XX/XX you'll need 1.5" wheel spacers. I've been running my Rough Country spacers for a year now. They've been wonderful. Only costed $118 shipped to my door for all 4.

Any reason why the Spidertrax cost twice as much? They have them at around 100 for a pair and will be 200 for 4. Thanks.
