Now these are all Teraflex products, I suggest you call David at Northridge and tell him your concerns about a complete lift and he'll set you up and give you a great price.

 

i'll chime in because i am running 35s with oem wheels on a 2 door manual. i have the teraflex 2.5" coil lift with adjustable JKS front trackbar, bilstein 5100 shocks, stock control arms, 1.25" wheel spacers, and stock rear trackbar with bracket. i am also running flat fenders with this set-up, stock driveshafts.

for starters it rides rougher than stock, mainly because i am still running stock control arms all around. if you wanted to do it right the first time then i would suggest atleast front lowers (this WILL give you a better on-road ride) along with a rear adjustable trackbar, and everything else that i am running above. the rougher ride doesnt bother me but it is all a matter of preference. in regards to the shock adaptors that is completely up to you... if you plan on running the teraflex 9550s anyways then i would get the complete kit with the shocks. if you plan on running something else for shocks like the bilsteins then i would use the rubicon shocks with the adaptors from the kit (save $$) and take some time to find the best shocks you can afford down the road. as far as drive shafts are conserned at 2.5" you will be fine for longer than if you run a 3"+ lift. i was flexed on the rubicon trail to a point where my front coils could be pulled off perches with one hand without any driveshaft boot rubbing issues.

off-road it does very well......

 

If you're gonna buy all the trackbars and control arms, might as well go with the 3" kit.

You'll still need to buy the trackbars (TF 3" doesn't come with the front as part of the kit), but atleast the kit comes with the necessary brackets and is complete.

 

thanks for the help. you are the secong refernce to David. should I mention you or anyone here. want to give credit where credit is due. thanks!

 

For me it is also a matter of practicality. It is a daily driver and I'm thining 3" might be too much lift for every day. Also, the fiancé doesnt want ANY lift at all , so I think 2.5 is the most I can "get away with." Am I wrong here? Please let me know, I want to make the right decision. Best, Michael

 

Here's a 3" Lift with the 9550 shocks and believe me I LOVE IT!!

I will say this you get what you pay for when it comes to shocks. If you spend $300 on each shock you will have a better ride than stock. but if you spend $60 on each shock you will not ride as nice as the stock ones. The Teraflex 9550 are a OK ride but I will be investing in something better down the road.

Make sure you buy the most Important part...The Teraflex Monster Track Bar! Believe me I've seen 4 other brands break! (One of them on another JK in our group broke right a this spot Golden Crack in the last 2 photos)

 

Just tell him your on project jk-forum. He'll know, and work with you whatever way he can. Standup guy. He may be able to send you a 3in kit with the 2.5 springs or something to that effect.He's not just a salesman, he's very knowledgable and will work to get you set-up to not have to worry about future probs with the suspension components.

 

sweet. thanks! i know i could spend my whole life trying to read, learn and understand and never make a decision. i feel that its one of those things where you learn as you go...

 

Gonna give David a call on Monday...hope theyre open
