Perfect solution to this problem. Yes TeraFlex has changed the design to this part. Of course 6 months later Jeep will make a change then TeraFlex will have to make a change, repeat cycle.

Default No problems with my install

I installed the same 2.5" coil lift about 1 month ago with no problems. I did not need a coil compressor nor did I have any problems with the track bar bracket that they provided. Everything lined up (a little tight), but no problems. I used basic tools with the exception of the torque wrench to make sure I tightened everything to spec. I hope you have the same experience. Good luck.

well if the weather cooperates, along with my kids, this is the weekend the lift goes in. Between reading install threads here on the site, and reading the directions that came with the lift, I think Im set. However, there are a few last minute things that you guys may be able to help me with...

First, the Teraflex instructions state to "loosen all control arm bolts and track bar bolts but DO NOT REMOVE THEM." This seems to contradict the write-ups on the forum where folks are REMOVING the bolts. What's the correct thing to do here...loosen the bolts or remove them?

Lastly, although the instructions say that there is a TEMPLATE included to help you install the rear trackbar bracket, there is in fact no template. Is there any preferred way to deal with this?

Thanks! Will post pics when done. Tires and wheels should be in next week sometime.
