So I guess I'll start with a little back ground. I currently run the "old style" Teraflex 2.5" coil spring lift with their shocks, the monster front track bar and a jks rear track bar. When I installed the kit in my 2dr i got just about 4" of lift and it hasn't settled much at all. I find that it rides a little stiff and highway driving can be interesting when the wind picks up.

Well now it looks like I may be moving and my round trip commute to work is going from 8 miles of back road to almost 50 miles of highway driving.

I'm considering switching to the 1.5" performance kit if it will truely deliver that hight. I'm looking for something just taller than stock. My logic behind all this is to get to a lower center of gravity and possibly a better comfort driven shock (prolly the stock HD shocks until I decide what to do). None of my wheeling buddies run any thing more than a 33s so I assume with this kit and some flat fenders i should still easily run 35s so that will be enough for where we go and what we do.

Any imput would be appriciated.

 

You would still need bump stops with the kit, flat fenders, and 35s.

 

Ok so bump stops aren't a big deal. So I guess I just need to find out how true the amount lift is

 

Any other thoughts on why I should or should not do this would be appriciated

 

As far as I know, the spring version of the leveling kit provides the same as the spacer version, which is 2" front and 1" rear.

 

You may need to trim the pinch seam also. From others that have this lift it nets about 2" front and 1" rear.

 

I netted the full 2 inches in the front and 1-1/2" in the rear. I also added a 1/2" Teraflex spacer in the front to make up for my winch and bumper. It rides great with my Rubi shocks.

 

Thanks for the help I may go this route then. I wonder what kind of response i'm gonna get from people when I tell them I'm "lowering" the Jeep

Now if I could just figure out how to get 30mpg out of it.....

 

Do you have any pics of your jeep? I'm still debating on which kit to go with.

 

I'm running the exact same setup. On stock 32's.
