I would like to add a 1" or 2" of spacers to my springs. I am not looking to spend a bunch of money but would like to gain a little height on the Jeep. Can you help me out with what I sould be looking for and get?

Thanks

 

A spacer is a spacer, any will work fine. If you want to get rid of the factory rake, look at a TF leveling kit. If you want more lift, any of the 2-2.5" kits would work well for you, just compare the added components included with the kit and decide which you want. TF and RC are very popular.

 

Thanks for the info! Are there any specifics that anyone has used and can recommend?

Thanks

 

At the moment I have 1" Teraflex spacers in my 2dr Rubicon. I had daystars in for a while (much cheaper) but they did not hold their shape and the rears seemed to move around.

I really like the way the rear teraflex spacers lock into the spring perch. The stock isolator then locks onto the teraflex spacer making the coils easier to install, especially if you are working alone.

One inch doesn't sound like much but it's definitly noticeable.

 

edit: i am a dumbass

 

Ok, so looking at the Teraflex one it looks like it comes with new front sway bar links and the Rough Country one does not. Is this item necessary to change? It looks like they are both just about the same price. Is there an advantage of one over the other.

Will they both remove the factory rake and level the vehicle?

 

I have the 2" Teraflex and love it!!
U definately want longer sway bar links.

I am running the RC 2.5 BB spacer kit. It came with the spacers, and shock extensions. The spacers are metal, not poly like some kits. So no worries of them losing their shape over time. Got rid of the factory rake (I think the front spacer is 3/4" or so taller than the rear, to get rid of the rake). I am happy with it.

I would recommend getting longer / adjustable front sway bar links. Or get longer ones for the rear, and move the stock rears to the front. Even with that little bit of lift, I bent the crap out of one of my stock front sway bar links while disonnected on a trail. Now have the JKS Quicker Disconnect sway bar links up front, to solve that problem.


Be sure to post some pix of what you decide to get!

ANthony, will I have any problems with the sway bar links on my Rubicon if I disconnect them for off roading? Will the ones that are supplied with the Teraflex kit be compatable with the Ribicon?

Thanks for all the help everyone!

 

That looks good rink! Did you use the supplied sway bar links that came with the Teraflex kit?
