OK. so I have used the SEARCH feature and researched (an amazing amount) and I am still not sure what to do. I have a daystar 1-3/4" lift. This did not come with bumpstops!!!!! I am not feeling confident with this "lift". I think I want to bump it up a notch. I have 33's (brand new) so they will stay for now. MAYBE 35's in the future.
I am thinking the Teraflex 2.5" because it has bumpstops, longer links, etc.
I have a few questions. Are these kits REALLY all I need? Will I need new adjustable track bars, etc? Right now, with the 1-3/4" lift, my axles are not quite centered. Not horrible, but they are def. not centered. Will this get even worse with the 2.5"?
Will the front end (steering geometry,etc.) be OK?
I really do not want to be changing shafts, etc. will those be ok? (I have a 2 door auto)
Is the coilspring kit worth it in comparison to the BB? I just went their site, and the spring kit says 3" front, 2" rear. Is this correct? If so, maybe that is the way to go (I want to add a bumper and winch(synthetic line) also)
I know it is a lot of questions, but my head is like mush right now. Info. overload I think. Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

With the 2.5" coils on your 2dr, you'll get about 3.5" front, 2.5" rear out of it. There's several members here with this kit or the 2.5" BB kit. The BB kit is 2.5" front and 2" rear. I would be afraid that your JK will look too tall with 33's and the 2.5" coils. Maybe the Leveling kit would be better with those 33's? #1155200 https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/lets-talk-about-long-arm-kits-pinion-angles-113371/

 

Have the 2.5 Tera coil and love it. Running 35's and haven't had to replace anything. Did have to cut the skid plate a little but the drive shaft was resting on it at full flex. I would go with the coil over the BB if you want a better ride and plan to wheel.

 

thanks for the info. not quite sure why the link to the long arm thread I am definetly not going that route.
So, to sum it up, are you saying the safest bet would be the leveling kit? In other words safest for no other mods to the suspension?
If I went with the 2.5 BB would I be good on ALL other aspects of the suspension?
Like I said, I am at 1-3/4" now, and like the look, and it IS working better than stock for wheeling, but I am concerned with no bumpstop extensions, etc. Not sure I would want to go lower (leveling kit) Oh by the way, I also added Bilstein 5100 series shocks when I did the pucks (did not want to lose flex)
Thanks again! This is really halping me out

 

Yeah, I had to trim my trans skid too. Same problem of rubbing the front driveshaft.

So, honest opinion. Is it working without any other mods to suspension? I don't wheel that often, but when we do it is pretty difficult terrain. thanks again.

By better ride, what do you mean? If I did the BB I would have factory ride. Which to me is fine. Are the coils firmer, softer?

 

Do you need extended bumpstops? Are your coils fully compressing? Are your tires rubbing the fenders? Why exactly are you not confident with that lift?


The TF leveling kit is 2" front, 1" rear, with the other goodies thrown in. If that is all the height you want, why change out your lift? Just stay with your daystar 1.75" and add some bumpstops. (if you need them...)

If you want to go a bit higher, look at the TF 2.5" BB, not the leveling kit. It comes in several different versions, just pick the one you like.

If you decide to sell your 33's and move on up to 35's, the TF 2.5" coil kit would be a good option. Just remember that the higher you go, the more components you will want to bring you back to that 'stock-like' ride. This is where you'll be talking yourself into adj trackbars and adj control arms, and are much more likely to need new driveshafts.

 

 

Looks great! Is that the 2.5 coil? Did you need to add anything else?

 

I actually do not think it is rubbing, but I am worried about full compression. I have not really gotten out and looked. I tried it on a jeep jamboree, and where I think it mat have been rubbing/ overcompressing was a real tough spot, and I was just concentrating on getting through and watchiung my spotters. Basically I just want it to be correct, and not have to really think about how my lift, suspension, etc. is acting when I am offroading. I just want to drive and have fun.

 

I add a front track bar just for looks other than that I just used what came in the kit. When I first put it in the front end felt a little flighty. Nothing bad just a little. As soon as I put the bumper and winch it drove better than stock all flightyness is gone. FYI I only lost a quarter inch w winch and bumper.
