I have the Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift... I liked it but the Jeep wandered a little for me... no big deal... just felt it would be better to add adjustable front lower control arms and track bar. Not required, but smoothed out my ride a bit. Like others said you will want to modify more and more. I want to add the 3" TF coils and adjustable upper rear control arms next. Oh yeah, I added the TeraFlex tuned Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks and this thing rides sweet (previously I used my Rubi shocks with extenders, which worked well).

Only issue I have is the infamous passenger side rear tail lean. It appears to be around an inch lower than the drivers side... but I honestly haven't measured it... oh well!!

Good luck.

About how much lift will the teraflex 2.5 " coil lift add to a stock 4dr ,I'm assuming it would be more than the advertised 2.5 ".

Teraflex runs closer to advertised height. 3.1 front and 2.1 rear. The issue is adding weight the coils will settle a bit. Some more than others. I saw mention of a HD 3" coil. Not sure if available yet. 3" is a better option if you're going to load up the jeep and want to maintain height without spacers.

You wont need longer shafts, with that lift. RK is one of the lifts that give more lift then advertised. IMO if you dont plan on wheeling much and want the JK to ride very well on road, and with only running 33s maybe a 1.5in or a spacer lift. the best thing to do is call NORTHRIDGE4x4 those guys will tell you what you need to know with out smart ass answers. they wont laugh at "silly" questions. they have the knowledge to answer any question even with minimal info

I have the RK 2.5 x-factor lift and netted much more than 2.5. If you must lift the 1.5 from RK is plenty for 33s. If it's not gonna see a lot of "crazy" trail time. Go with flat flares and 33s. It'll look great and be very simple. This will meet average trail needs more than adequately.

On the forums this solution may not sound like much...but in real world terms and applications it will look big and be functional for you.

Remember..the more you change..the more you'll actually need to alter to keep it drivable. Good luck on your quest.
