spacer lift
Just wondering when lifting your jeep with a coil spring spacer. Is there any concern of having the spring come out of the pocket in a full flex situation. I'm new to all this in case anybody was wondering.

I think that as long as your bump stops are adjusted too you are fine. I have a TeraFlex 2.5 BB on mine and have had it flexed up quite a bit without any issues. The TeraFlex kit comes with bumpstops too!

I also used to have the Tera flex BB, ran it for 5 years without a problem, the rear spacers have about a 5" nipple that keep the coil in place during extreme flex. The fronts have the upper bumps stops just like they are stock.

only if you have shocks that are too long but, if they were that long, you would have issues with them bottoming out too. you'll be fine with a basic and complete spacer kit.

Thanks guys for some reason i just keep picturing one side completely compressed and the other trying to fall out of thr pocket.because the spacer dosent let the spring sit all the way in the pocket like it used to.
