First Time Lifting A Vehicle
Hi All,
I have some questions as this is my first time lifting a vehicle. Searching for a 2.5" lift on my 2014 JKU and this is what I have come up with. Comfort is important to me as this is my daily driver.
Teraflex 2.5" Lift
Teraflex 2.5 Inch Lift LINK
Rancho 2" RS9000XL Shocks
Rancho Front Shock LINK
Rancho Rear Shock LINK
1. Is this everything I would need for a lift?
2. The shock is 2" and the lift is 2.5". Is this a problem? Do I need to get the Teraflex lift kit with adapters?
3. The kit the local shop is telling me to get has flexarms. Do I need flexarms? Teraflex 3 Inch Lift w/Flexarms LINK
Thanks for all the help!

First is it a is it a Rubicon or Sahara or sport model.if you don't have a rubi get the teraflex kit with shocks or shock extensions and call it a day you don't need the Flex arms right away.I have 5 years on my kit and i don't have flex arms. Rubicon have a progressive shock a lot stiffer than the other models .good luck

However I don't know if they are better or not than Rancho 9000
What is nice about rancho 9000 is they are adjustable.
