No, all the TeraFlex front swaybar links use the same style now.

bump...I'd like to hear some feedback on this as well ...

[QUOTE=Kdawg;3029521]I have the Teraflex performance leveling kit on my jeep with 33" Duratracs.I luv the look and height of my jeep now.I was afraid i would want to go higher but im absolutely satisfied with how my jeep looks and performs with this kit on it.Mines a daily driver so i didnt want to kill the gas mileage but i did want to add a little more than stock height.Here is some pics pics the first one is stock then the next few are with the different tops and kit installed with 33
' duratracs,,,285/70/17

Are you running spacers with the stock rims and the duratracs? If you're not running spacers, are you having any rubbing issues? Your Jeep looks great.

Thanks!

Default Front brake line bracket?

I will be helping a friend install a 1.5" TF performance kit. Question for the 2011-2013 owners. What did you do with the front brake lines? Can it be left in place bolted to its current location by the shocks or does it have to be unbolted due to the increased height from the TF springs? Thanks in advance....

I put the rancho kit on my 13. Basically same height. Didnt do anything for front. Rear needs the relocation brackets.

Default I installed Terra leveling springs on 09 JKU X

and it was the best thing I ever did, I also replaced my stock black shocks the red Rubi shocks that I purchased as a takeoff, no need to do any more. I then added 285 70 17 Duratracs with 1.5 spacers and I absolutely love the look.
I could not go to 35 because I have an automatic with 3.21 gears. My mileage increased by about 1.5 to 2 MPG and to really see it you have to recalibrate the wheel diameter using a programer which I did, without recalibrating, the computer will give you a lower MPG and the odometer will record less miles traveled.
In addition the springs give the Jeep a really smooth rider, a lot better than the OEM and especially over bumps, street speed bumps etc...
When I got my tires I did do a alignment and it was a little off so if you are a perfectionist or if you are geting new tires you should have it aligned.

How was it that your gas mileage increased?

Not wanting to hijack but also looking for added info here. Can you add a 2 1/2 coil lift to the leveling spacers at a later date?

This thread is about coils, the coils are what raise 2" in front and 1" in back to level. You could add spacers but not coils.
