Default 2.5 teraflex BB plus 1" to level?

Just traded my 07 sahara on a 09 rubi. I had the teraflex 2.5" BB on my sahara and loved it. However, this time I want to level the thing up at the same time. Do I just I just buy another 1" spacer (or is it 3/4") and stack it up front? When I do this do I need to do anything else? or can I get away with just the basic lift with an extra 1" up front and shock extensions?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Thanks green I just might do that. It is a few more $, but maybe I can slip it under the radar.

Any other suggestions?

I know that for a while there was a kit out there with the Tera budget boost in the back and springs up front. Might be an option, but you would probably need to get the Tera 2.5" front springs, or the OME springs up front.

I have the 2.5 + 3/4" spacer. Before I had my winch and bumper, the stance was perfect. Now, I wish I had the 1" spacer. Ultimately, I'm going to swap on some 3" springs and leave the 3/4" spacer.

I wheel it pretty hard and don't have any issues with the stacked spacers.

I'm running a TF 2.5" coil lift and a 1" TF spacer with an LoD front bumper and Superwinch EPI9.0S and I sit level!

Thanks for your input. I think I'll stick with Teraflex since I am familiar with there stuff and it work well. I am going to try to negotiate the coil lift, if I can, I'll do the BB and 3/4" for now.

Again I appreciate it. The info from this forum is what lead to the successful mods on my first jeep and I am exited to at it again.

really I would hold out for the coils.. sits better, performs better..... but the BB is still a great product

I also have the Tera 2.5bb. It was fine until I added my mopar bumper and winch. I now have removed the spacers and installed a set of Rubicon Express 3.5 springs on the front and it sits perfectly level. Rides great also.

If you have a 2 dr, you can solve the rake by using front 4 dr Rubi springs (free take-offs from a friend).

If you have a 4 dr, you can solve the rake with HD Old Man Emu springs for $165 shipped from Northridge4x4. You eventually would want to add an adjustable front trackbar for $139 shipped.

You may be able to negotiate a fairly close price for 3" front springs & an adjustable front trackbar from Teraflex.
he doesn't have a kit yet... he had one on his 07 now he has an 09
