Default Any concerns with adding a 3/4" spacer to a TF 2.5" BB??

I'd like to level out the stance...is there anything wrong with adding the skyjacker 3/4" spacers to the terraflex 2.5" BB? Besides having a more off-center axle and REALLY needing an adjustable trackbar..

I've wheel'd with the sway bar disco'd and had no issues here.

This is my install from top to bottom: 3/4", 2.5", stock isolator then the spring.

Hope it helps!

I just installed my 1" tereflex spacers today on top of my 2.5" rough country spacers, and it looks and works great!!! It leveled it right out.... just put the new spacers on top of the factory ones (sandwiching the 3/4" ones) and you will be fine... Good luck, I think you'll like the results......

Doesn't sound very safe to stack spacers. They could separate during extreme maneuvers

your shocks limit your travel down and will not let the spacers fall out. That is if your using the right shocks. I am going to run the 2.5 bb and 3/4 spacers, I am installing next week.

I run a 2.5" TF Coil lift with .75" Spacers, and it works fine for me...

I had the same question I emailed to Teraflex a few days ago and the tech person that replied seemed very knowledable. He said it would be no problem to sandwich them. I'm in the same boat with the sag look on the front. I hope this helps.

I would reconsider adding a spacer to solve your problem.--Temporarily, you will indeed achieve the lift you're looking for. However, the spacer itself actually adds further compression to the coil , and over time will actually compress the spring further than had you left it alone. This was confirmed with dave at Northridge. I am in the exact same boat. Same lift, same sag.--The only way to correct this issue, correctly, and permanantly, is to replace the coils. I would highly recommend the O.M.E. 2" H.D.--I will be doing this asap-I feel the need to add, I love the result from the TeraFlex product, and Joe is great to deal with, and by no means would this detour me from using either in the future. Thanks for listening/reading-good luck

I considered this "sag" solution at one point as well... but instead opted to remove the 2.5" spacers and replace the factory coils with 2.5" TeraFlex coils which take care of leveling the factory rake. All the remaining parts of your TF BB can stay in place.
