Default 2" BB spacer lift decision?

Howdy,



Are any of these considered more complete and appropriate for install? I want to avoid any issue that would require me to install additional mods to correct issues?




Full Traction 2" Econo Suspension Lift Kit

TeraFlex 2.5" Budget Boost

Rubicon Express 2" Coil Spacer Lift

Superlift 2" Lift System

Black Diamond 2" Lift System

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience.

J

OK any TeraFlex kit with spacers and not the coils will not get rid of the rake. The 2.5" spacers front/rear will maintain the factory rake.

The Black Diamond has thicker front spacers than rear to help level out the Jeep, you can also keep the stock spacer in if you need to raise the front even more due to the extra weight of the front bumper.

Default Thx Joe

Teraflex, thanks for the input...it helps with my decision. Your product is very popular with the members and I will keep you in mind if I go the next step with coils.

Default stock spacer height?

How tall is the stock front spacer and at what point ( how tall) are spacers (single or stacked) bad and should consider a coil lift instead?

While I'm here, at what point would the dealer start to become very critical of the mods vs the warranty?

Thanks

J.

I would spring for the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift and call it good. It is not that much more, will give you a better ride, and close to 3". Plenty of space to clear the 33's you want.

This is my plan as well.

I ran the REBB for several months and it leveled the jk perfectly, that was stock bumpers only though. With it you can run 33's no probs, 35's get a bit of rub that I cured with a 1in more BL. I don't know how much the steel mopar bumper weighs, but if I were you , I'd just go ahead with the Tereflex coil system so as not to have the bumper weight issue as much of a factor.

Stock isolaters are 1/2in. The rebb spcers are 2.5 frt and 1.75 rear , These are used in conjunction with your stock 1/2in isolators/spacers. I think Tereflex could give you the best spacer/coil lift for your application( they have several)
