Is there a BB that will also take care of the rake in the front end?

 

I've been thinking about going with the Daystar 1 3/4" in the back and the Teraflex 2.5" in the front to fit 33's or 305/70's (34's) I figure that should level it out and achieve the lift I need for those tires. BUT I also plan to put on a bumper and winch, so I might go with Pro Comp's 4/2 package. The nice thing is, there are a lot of options becoming more and more available for the JK.

 

I got a rough country 1.75 BB that was supposed to take care of the rake, but it didn't, so the 4x4 shop called rough country, and they sent a 2.5" spacer for the front. That was perfect!!! In fact, it was a little higher in the front, but I put on my new bumper today, and will put on my winch tomorrow, so that should take care of it.

 

I have been looking at different BB and found that Teraflex and RE have taller spacers for the front. The RE kit has 2" front and 1.5"rear while the Teraflex klt has 2.5" front and 2" rear. The other kits may offer this as well.

 

cool! I was thinking about the teraflex. thanks!

 

I installed the TF BB last week and I can tell you that the F/R spacers are the same height (2.5"). I was kind of disappointed actually, because the factory rake is still there, just 2.5" taller.

So, what is the best way to level it out? I was thinking of 3" springs in the front with an adjustable trackbar and leaving the rear TF spacers.

I guess I could just add 3/4" spacers to the front, but I don't like the idea of stacking spacers. Any ideas?

 

My rake was soooo bad, that when I went to install my Daystar 1 3/4" lift, I only installed the front. Rear is still stock! I added a set of SpiderTrax 1.5" wheel spacers and am running 295/75R16's on my stock X wheels. There is still at least 1/2" rake there now!

 

After installing my 2" BB (BDS) I still had the front end rake. I am also running Shrockworks stubby with a Warn Powerplant (about 200#) I figure.
I called BDS today and asked about a solution. The Service Tech looked up the spring rate for the stock spring is about 170# so he recommended that I buy and install the 3 Inch spring. I'm going to sit on this for a day or two. I have read here that other people are running "heavy duty springs". Old man emu is the only one I found with those.
If anyone has any ideas on this let me know.

 

Ok guys, question and a statement here. I'm installing a 1.75 lift this weekend. Does anyone KNOW if I have to do anything like an alignment or track bar adjust? I am under the impression that with just 1.75 I should be fine with stock shocks and no changes. Just pop it on and go.

The other point.... I have a soft top only. I don't notice rake or maybe it just doesn't bother me. Since the soft top slopes down it can't really be scene. Then again maybe its the fact it is an 08? With a hardtop I'm sure the straight roofline shows it more!

Ok, I lied one more point. Do Memphians just not know that your supposed to wave? Geez.

 

We got the dual top group with our Ruby. it does show MUCH more with hard than soft.
