Default Simple Tera BB ?

Ok, I've searched and haven't seen an exact answer to this. Does the Teraflex 2.5" BB take some of the rake out of the Unlimited or do you need to add some 0.75" spacers to the front to fix it (i.e. level it out?). No plans for a winch or anything like that.

The tera BB does not fix the rake. You would have to add spacers to it.

It takes out no rake. The bump stops are equal front and back. so you will have the same exact rake after the lift.

What they said, both front and rear spacers measure exactly the same. If the rake is really a problem for you, you should consider adding .75" spacers up front, get new 3" front coils or get a BB like Full Traction or Rubicon Express makes which have shorter rear spacers to help level things out.

I did the heavy duty TF BB, this includes 3" coils up front removing the rake. In fact now my front is a tiny bit higher than the back but when I add aftermarket bumper and winch I think I will be perfectly level.

Excellent question, excellent responses, excellent timing as I have the Quadratec catlog in front of me now.

GOTTA LOVE THIS FORUM!

So, you can get the Rubicon lift and it will level everything out w/o having to change springs? Anyone have this lift, and if so, how do you like?

I only want 2.5" and 33's for mild trails and snow.
