Go to the Write-ups area, on the top is an Index. In there you will find a suspension area. And in the suspension area are a bunch of ... suspension write-ups...


It may not seem like it, but it is actually fairly easy. Disconnect some components, drop a coil out, put the spacer on top, re-install, re-connect. Any of the write-ups will work for this, as they all use basically the same steps. And most have good pics and step by steps.

Let us know if you run into any issues, there is usually someone around that can give some input on whichever step you're stuck on.

It`s easy, disconnect sway bar links,and shocks, and loosen brake lines then lower axel until spring falls out. I`m assuming your talking about a 2.5 inch kit and if so i`ll give you the same peice of advice my 4x4 shop gave me. I was going to get the teraflex 2.5 budget boost for $560.00. They showed me the zone offroad 3" spring lift no spacers for $460.00. I installed the lift a couple weeks ago and could not be happier. It rides great and there are no hockey pucks on top of stock spring which is the set-up i had on my old TJ. I like the zone lift much better

they are right it is a real easy thing to do depending on how big the pucks are that your going to install you should be able to do it your self but an extra set of hands is nice.

Easy to install is a very very relative term.

I just got the 1" front spacer today and would love some help if anyone has done this and you have a write up, it will be very helpfull... i have mainly normal tools and not a pro mechanic here but i hear its easy and dont want to spend $200 to have someone install this in 30 minutes..
I looked up the write up page and did not find anything about this. only the 2.5 teraflex ones....
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

i saw this one it was just a little confusing since they mix the front and rear but this will most likely help. Thanks again.
