Confirmation before I order
I'm a Jeep newbee so please excuse my ignorance. I 've been reading the forum for a while now and just wanted to confirm that the stuff I'm about to order will work. I've got an X unlimited enroute and was about to order the Tera. 2.5 BB, cragar soft 8s 15x8, 5x5 bolt pattern w/ 4"BS, and BFG TA/KO 35x12.5x15. Budget is a main concern for me right now. The vehicle will not be subjected to any really hard use in the near future. Where I live and what I'm using the vehicle for the most it will see is some fairly deep mud and fire roads and the beach. Thoughts from all you Jeep nuts would be appreciated. Thanks

just a couple of question for you are u ording the 2.5 lift with just the spacers or are you ording the kit that also comes with the new shocks? next what are you doing about a spare tire? can you mount a 35 in. tire on the back gate with out it being to heavy? or are you going to order a new rear bumper with a tire carrier?

As mentioned, if you didn't order your lift with shocks, do yourself a favor and order some. Everything else sounds like it'll work. The 35" spare might be a bit much in terms of weight and fit but it will work.

I had planned on using the adapters for the OEM shocks but if you think I would greatly benefit from using a set from Teraflex I would do that instead. I read a post from Papabear that he read somewhere that the rear tire carrier would work with 35s, any confirmation on that yet? I plan on eventually doing a rear bumper/tire carrier.

Just wanted to find out if you got all of your mods finished, and how they work. I'm looking at a similar configuration, with just two changes. Full Traction 2" lift with 33" tires. It seems like most of the websites recommend a 5" Back Spacing.
How has the drive changed on the street and hwy?
Any tire rubbing?
