I talked to a guy today that "heard" that when installed, the lift slightly shifts the axle to the left. It can be corrected by purchasing a drop bracket for the bar that connects the axle to the frame.
After all I've read here about the TF 2.5" BB, this is the first time I've heard about this. Has anybody else heard anything pertaining to this?
The TF 2.5" BB seems to be the most popular and I am/was planning to buy it, but I sure don't want to have any problems after installation....that's for sure.
I'ver heard about bracket holes not lining up and other things. So if there are so many potential problems why is it so popular?

 

The axle shift you are refering to has been covered here time and time again and it is perfectly normal and it is NOT a problem for such a small lift. Check out the FAQ as it might help answer other questions for you

Sorry for repeating then, but I still have super slow dialup and if I took the time to go through every post I'd never find anything.....

 

For your dial up.

As he mentioned, the slight shift is nothing to worry about.
It doesn't matter what small BB you use, it will slightly shift the axle.
The only way to properly fix it is with an adjustable track bar. But again...with a 2"-2.5" lift it's nothing to worry about.

I ran the teraflex BB for a long time with no issues

 

No problem and I understand. Just pointing out that there might be other answers for you in the Modified FAQ to help you out

 

Thanks...Although I'd gone through the FAQs before, I indeed read through them again.
But....can I ask, how much of a "slight" axle shift are we talking about here...1/8", 1/2", 1"...more??? I guess I ask because "slight" is a pretty relative term....ie: To a perfectionist "slight" may be totally unacceptable, but to many, "slight" wouldn't mean a thing. I'd have to say I'm probably somewhere in between.
I guess what I'm trying to say is....it seems like whenever a guy wants to do one of these "simple" projects, Mr. Murphy is always lurking, and believe me, at almost 52 years old I've faught with him more times than I care to think about.
So if I can be so bold.....I JUST DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ANY BS AFTER I INSTALL THIS THING...!!!......ha
Appreciate your time.....

 

By slight, we are literally talking about 1/8"... maybe 3/16". Your front will shift as well in the other direction but it really won't be a problem. Heck, there are many times when people install a relocation bracket or an adjustable track bar with a collapsed lenght that is longer than what you need and the shift ends up going too far the other way. Really, it is no big deal and you will be fine.

 

x2 on this, 8500 miles on this lift. Zero problems. Tracks straight and handles great.

 

BLY109.....Did you buy the TF shocks or stay with the stock Mopars???

 

Since I have a Rubicon, I stayed with the stock shocks with the Teraflex shock extensions. I have been very happy with this setup on and off road.
