Default Adding shock extensions to a teraflex leveling kit. Need help!

So I have a two door rubicon and I currently have the teraflex spacer leveling kit with stock 255 TA's. I have been thinking of adding shock extensions and reat brake line brackets to gain a little extra flex. Will this give me more flex and also will I have any problems with the springs falling out under full flex? I ask this becasue the lift is 2" in the front and 1" in the back and if I add the shock extension from the teraflex 2.5" budget boost would my shocks have to much travel for the leveling kit?

Any help would be great.

This seems to be a very common question with this kit lately. You can run the extensions but I would add some rear brakeline extensions.

Will my shocks bottom out if I do this or will I hit the stock bump stops first?

You will need extended bumpstops to prevent bottoming out your shocks if you add shock extensions.

Stock Rubicon shocks or a good 0-2" shock.
