Leveling kit with lift?
Along the same lines.....
I just finished installing the 2.5" coil lift yesterday, had the leveling kit with stock springs and it started to sag. I have a LoD mid- width, winch and a Receiver hitch (so I can tow the Jeep behind my RV) up front, probably around 150 extra pounds, so I left one 1" puck up front.
So after my install the steering is way loose, I'm thinking my options are:
1) new front track bar with or without new LCAs?
2) remove the pucks...would that unlevel me? would that correct my loose steering issue?
Since I tow the Jeep I won't be going above 33s.
Teraflex dude or anyone????
Thanks

I tow our Jeep also. One of the things that makes flat-tow possible is the castor angle of the front axle. When a lift is installed without castor compensation, the castor gets reduced. This results in the "loose" steering feel and also makes the steering track poorly when the rig is towed 4-down.
There are a couple ways to get your castor angle back. The cheapest and fastest is probably a set of AEV geometry correction brackets. Another option is a set of adjustable front control arms.
I just did a 2.5 coil spring lift along with the AEV brackets. The steering feel remained about the same, and I've towed the Jeep since without any issues. The brackets only cost a hundred and I didn't need an alignment shop to set up adjustable control arms. (That said, I think control arms are actually a better option. For now its all good though.)

Running TF 2.5" coil lift with Bilstein 5100s. Front started to sag a little so TF sent me 1/2" spacers. Worked great. I do run the Rough Country control arm relocation brackets to correct my caster. Keeps my ride better than stock.
Totally missed them yesterday.....must have been the heat
Working like stock now....Thanks for the follow up man!!!!
