Tons of us have them. I haven't seen one unhappy customer yet. Search it, you'll find dozens of threads.

The #1155200 is one of TeraFlex's most popular sellers, very easy to install and a low price.

If you just want to take away the rake of the Jeep it is definitely the way to go, it will not change the stock ride at all. However, if your future plans are to replace your stock coils with Rubicon takeoffs to get more lift, I would wait and do it all then, or bypass this kit and get the Coil lift with shock extensions. The reason is that you are basically removing all 4 coils to install this lift, so you might as well put in the new coils and save yourself the extra work.

inexpensive way to get some clearance for bigger tires. I have a 2012 with 35's and just one spacer front and rear. I had problems with install, but mostly bad luck and lack of good instructions. Research threads before you install!

^^^^X2.....Just installed my teraflex leveling kit a couple of weeks ago and I would definitely do coils while you are installing this kit and kill two birds with one stone. I didn't and started thinking about it when I was on my last wheel thinking I'm gonna have to do this again soon That means more.

Just installed mine last Monday. I love the look! It took myself and a friend all of 1.5 hrs to do.

Here is my post with before and after pics and install discussions.

If I install the leveling kit would I be able to get some kinda bumper later or would it be too heavy?

The bumper will not be "too heavy". However it will have a tendency to sag the front a bit. How much depends on the bumper and whether you have a winch or not.

If you splurge and get the Performance Leveling kit; the one with replacement springs instead of spacers, you can always add a small spacer to counteract the effect of a heavier bumper.

You can in fact also add a small spacer to the spacer kit but there are two schools of thought here about stacking spacers. Some will tell you not to yet others say its ok. Personally I was told by a manufacturer that it's ok to stack. Search stacking spacers in this forum and make your own choice on this topic.

In any case, you can't go wrong with either kit!!!

I have the TF performance leveling kit (the one with springs) on my 2008 JKU. I have an LOD front stubby bumper with a Rugged Ridge 8500 winch and I am extremely happy with the way it looks and rides.
