For anyone who has installed a FT 2" BB I have a quick question for you. I can't tell from the directions how to orient the rear spacer.

I can see that it should go "Spacer then Stock isolator than Spring" but I can't figure out of the isolator should go up against the flat side or the concave side of the spacers.

I was thinking it might be obvious once I have the rear of the Jeep apart but I'd hate to get that far into and not be able to figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Anybody???

 

RC 2.5 was Spacer, Stock Isolator then Spring.. I imagine you're correct with the Teraflex as well.

 

I think so too................

 

What does the BB stand for?

Sorry im a noobie when it come.s to lifts. Im trying to learn as much as possible

 

You're right, the instructions could have a much better picture there. I just installed my FT 2" BB about two weeks ago. The stock insulator installs into the cutout in one side of the spacer. You can't miss it. It doesn't sit on top of the spacer like the instructions show, but down in it. You'll see. It's easy as pie. Also, I did NOT install the front track bar relocation bracket on mine and I have had NO off center steering issues. With all the horror stories I've seen about track bars breaking welds with the relocation brackets installed, I decided not to install mine.

 

BB stands for "Budget Boost." A BB is simply a lift kit that utilizes coil spacers.

 

Thank You

Next Question(s):

Is there an alternative to a "budget boost"? I know there is a body lift but no offense that seems pointless to me.

Does this BB void your warranty from Daimler Chrysler?

Thanks Again

 

No problem. Everyone was a newbie at some point in their life.

*deep breath*

You can install taller coils as an alternative, but coil suspension lift kits are more expensive than BBs. Hence the first "B" in Budget Boost.

Body lifts have their own time and purpose. Body lifts raise the body off the frame without any adverse effects on driveline components, etc. They also allow you to run larger tires without robbing you of upward travel, whereas a suspension lift merely raises the ride height by getting the frame up off the ground. Both types of lifts allow you to run larger tires at ride height, but a suspension lift typically uses bump stops to prevent the tires from stuffing too much and damaging the fenders. The ideal combination would be to install a suspension lift (to increase your approach/departure/breakover angles) AND a body lift (to allow greater uptravel for the larger tires). That way you're not sacrificing articulation for tire clearance.

As far as the warranty goes, it all depends on your dealership. When you modify a vehicle, the warranty on anything related to the modification is basically void. If your lift kit causes your driveshaft boot to rip, then that obviously won't be covered under warranty. However, if the paint on your Jeep suddenly starts cracking everywhere, then that will still be covered under warranty, as it would have happened regardless of the modifications.

Any more questions? This is what a forum is for. We're all here to help.

 

Appreciate the help. I kind of thought that's how it should be but I just couldn't tell from the pic. Also I wasn't planning on installing the track bar bracket either, I read of at least a few people that ended up with darty steering because of it.

Thanks a ton.
