I am ordering the 2.5 Teraflex lift with shocks and I want to take advantage of the holiday savings. Can someone let me know what I need besides the kit itself. If there is anything people think I need for any reason please chime in. I really want to avoid the death wobble and would rather get everything installed up front. Thanks so much. For example do I need:

1. Steering stabilizer
2. Adj Front track bar
3. Rear track bar
4. Track bar brackets
5. Drive shafts
6. Bump stops

ANY OF THESE? ANYTHING ELSE?

 

you dont need anything more than what comes in the kit.. MAYBE if you want, you can get new trackbars.....

I didnt bother and am not planning on buying anything else until I break something out on the trails. the jeep rides great.

EDIT: Maybe wheels spacers if your still wearing the OEM shoes.... but you can also install the sway bar links on the inside (In the rear) and run it like that

 

1. I would skip the steering stabilizer unless yours has an issue.
2. That would be a nice addition, the kit lifts 3" front, so it would be a good way to ensure that the axle is centered. It is not necessary though.
3. this would be nice, but I would just get the bracket... but the kit only lifts 2" rear so you don;t have to do either.
4. I would only use a bracket in the rear. If you use one in the front it will require a drop pitman. I would use one in the back over an adjustable with that kit probably.
5. with the 2.5" kit, you can probably just use your factory driveshafts. At least for a good while. It lifts 3" front, so if you have an auto it may be needed sooner.
6. the kit will come with bump stops.


If it were me I think I would get the kit, some teraflex lower front "flex arms" and I would measure the axle distance from frame before and after the lift before deciding on track bar or brackets maybe. I think I would use the tera frame mounted bracket in the back and the solid adj. one in the front. I think that would make your jeep drive amazing. The increased caster might make it handle better than it does now.

don't forget photos!

 

You don't "need" anything. All of the above upgrades will increase performance, as bigblue has stated.

You might consider quick disconnects. They're a good upgrade to let you easily disconnect the swaybar and use all the articulation the new lift offers. Teraflex makes a good set.

 

x2. I love my teraflex discos. I had them on my TJ and now on my JK. They are super EZ!

 

Yeah, disco your stockers once on the trail and you'll want quick discos

 

If it's the budget boost you won't gain any more articulation though(from factory). But you will with the disconnects.

 

The 2.5" BB is just spacers. the longer shocks are to match the new pretend length of the factory coil spring (with spacer).

 

I love that jeep plan man,

 

so would you argue that... given the choice.. you would choose a 2.5" BB lift over a 2.5" full suspension lift? just curious because this is in the near future... may 3" though...
