Help with shock length for a Teraflex 1.5 performance level kit
So im getting ready to purchase a Teraflex 1.5 performance level kit on a JK 2door and was wondering which Rancho 9000XL shocks I will need? I already bought a set that says its good between 0-2 inches of lift but im starting to second guess my decision. Here are the part numbers and their specs. Thanks
What I have
Front RS999326: 13.93 collapsed and 21.78 extended 7.85 travel
Rear RS999328: 14.69 collapsed and 23.14 extended 8.45 travel
What I am thinking I may need
Front RS999329: 15.66 collapsed and 25.28 extended 9.62 travel
Rear RS999330: 16.11 collapsed and 26.01 extended 9.90 travel

I had the 1.5" tf performance coil kit and it ended up netting me less then an inch in back and about 1.5" in front on my 2013 jku. If you already have the 0-2" that is what I would use to see how they work.
currently I am using the RS7000 0-2" shocks on my 14 rubicon with actual 2" lift and they seem about perfect. They reach full extension pretty much at max droop with every thng disconnected and every thing loose. Not sure any longer would be of any benefit.

Thanks jadmt! Nice for someone that had a simular setup im looking into chime in. How did the TF coils perform off and on road? Also do you happen to have and could post the exact part numbers of the RS7000 shocks you have so I can compare specs? Thanks again!!!

the tf coils were nice on and off road but they did sag very quickly and I had to put spacers in to regain the lift as did my buddy. TF was good about sending the spacers and if I were using them again I would install spacers from the get go. rs7328 and rs7326

jadmt after comparing the specs between the 9000 and the 7000 it's turns out that the 7000 provide an inch more travel then the same last three digit 9000 counterparts! Seems odd to me! Also when you mention sag do you mean that it was no longer level or the whole thing sagged front and rear. Don't see a purpose in this kit if I have to add spacers on top of them. Trying to avoid spacers all together. Thanks
