I wanted to share this now that I have swapped from the Full Traction 2" BB spacer lift to the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift. It seems my spacer lift in the rear slipped out of place. It did this more than once. I began hearing a srcubbing sound going over bumps. It was my coil spring rubbing against the rear track bar. Upon inspection, this is what I found.




As you can see, both sides had significantly slipped. I contacted Full Traction and spoke with Steve regarding this some time ago. He asked me to send pictures, which I did. To date, I have gotten no response. Not trying to slam a sponsor, I am just telling what happened. More than a month has elapsed since my first contact. Steve seemed willing to help when I did speak with him....I just never received a response after I sent pics for whatever reason. Since I was already planning on replacing the spacer BB, it's really no biggie. I wanted to post up the pics for all of you though, because I followed the instructions to the letter and this was the result. The rear spacers are now crushed, and no longer usable because they slipped out of place. Those of you with the Full Traction BB spacer lifts might want to check on this.

 

WOW! glad to hear nothing bad happened-I suppose that could have been devastating had the springs become unpearched on the trail, or at speed for that matter-yikes!

 

Yes. I thought the same thing. I am just glad for all intent purposes, I am still a posin pavement pounder.........but only for now. Let me get my new tires when these wear out and all that will change.

 

Good information to know. May want to follow back up with Steve to see what's taking so long for a response.

 

I have and still nothing. NO sweat. Since I'm not using the Full Traction BB any longer, it doesn't matter. I know a lot of manufacturers and vendors are in Moab, but I emailed him long before this.

 

Your shocks weren't too long for the lift ? Just a thought....

 

I had the EXACT SAME problem. I ended up just removing the rear spacers, and with the bumper and winch on the front the Jeep still sits level with the front spacers installed. Its only temporary though, 2.5 coil and 33's coming soon.

I've said it before in other threads, but I can't recommend this lift because of this problem.

 

Naw. I still had the stock ones. Not only that, but I haven't been off pavement ONCE since I installed it.

 

Hmmm, dammit, I just ordered one of these & was gonna install tomorrow... you got me thinking twice about it now. Doubt I could send it back to NorthRidge though, thought it shipped from FT.

Looks like a waste of good $$$

I shoulda known better. You get what you pay for. The bumpstops in my kit wheren't event the advertised billet aluminum. They're plastic like the spacers. It was only $130 but damn.

 

I don't know. I'm pretty open minded about stuff...but honestly, I followed the instructions to the tee, and I've not had the Jeep off road at all since the install. I imagine if you changed your mind and wanted to do the Teraflex 2.5 coil kit, David would probably be alright with it. He's a good dude.
