Default Jeepers Block

So like "Writers Block" I currently have Jeepers Block. I have front and rear bumpers, front pillar mounted spot lights, Rubi rails.

I have the 2.5" TF Spacer lift with shocks. I have the coil springs at my house waiting on a time when I can put them on. (Hopefully this week)

Any suggestions on what to do next? Obviously I am not replacing bumpers or lifts as I have what I have based on the amount of wheeling I do.

Also, does anyone who had the TeraFlex 2.5" lift without springs have a terrible ride? I have both front and rear bumpers, so the sag is definitely noticeable, also when I hit large bumps in the road, I bumpstop out due to the amount of compression that is already taking place on my springs. I am assuming that once I put on the 2.5-3" Coils from TeraFlex this will all be fixed, and my Jeep will be 2.5-3" higher with an even balance.

I'd think a quick perusing of the websites of any of the sponsoring organizations here would fix that block of yours.

Winch
Wheels
Exhaust
Rack

Those come to mind at the moment.

Do you have the coils on your TF kit? If so did you install them right when you put on the 2.5" spacers?

I have about a month until my next good session of wheeling up in PA. So I guess I will wait until then!

The lift is in the closet. It goes on after the wheels arrive and after I order tires. I'm still about a month away from my wheels being done and shipped to me.

I'll be running this lift (unless I change my mind in the interim and decide to go bigger): http://www.quadratec.com/products/16190_0001.htm

I just realized that I haven't updated my signature to reflect the kit I ordered... shit. It's the 3" lift. Sorry.

If it is the three inch lift then it comes with stiffer springs to prevent sagging. U should be good to go

Well the spacers are the 2.5" and the shocks were 2.5-3". So I bought the 2.5-3" Springs. So I assuming that it will be good to go.
