Default Another Teraflex BB question

Just installed my Teraflex BB with shock extenders. I was under the impression that the BB would not rectify the JK rake. After installing my BB I cannot notice any rake, my jeep appears to have a level stance front to back. Could I have done something wrong. I followed all instructions and the install went very easily.

It's going to be level after install. Mine had some rake after the springs got broke in. I hate rake so I added a 1" spacer up front. To make it level again.

Edit: Did you get the spacer BB or Spring BB ??

If I'm not mistaken, the BB used to have equal spacers front and rear, which did leave the rake, but now it comes with a smaller spacer in the rear so the rake is eliminated.

The BB would most likely level the rake. The coil spacer in most BB's will be taller in the front and shorter in the rear. I know my RE BB did this and took most of the rake out. But I am not certain on the TF BB...someone will chime in!

Older BB kits had 2.5" BB spacers front and rear. Current kits now have 2.5" front and 2.0" rear spacers.
