Default Teraflex 2.5 Coil???

I am considering getting the teraflex 2.5 kit with bilsteins from northridge. My question about it is, will I be able to fit 35's at full flex? And, would it be better to put some sort of spacer in the front to avoid sag, if I am going to run a bumper and winch. Also, is there anything else that needs to be purchased with it?

Thanks

I ran 35 Km2 with that set up and had no problems with the front disconnected at full flex you will get some stock flare rubbing. A good reason to do the chop flare MOD.

i been running 35 km2s on teraflex coil lift for 3 years. not a problem at all. I am running shocks
from a rubicon is the only difference. the bilstiens should be better.

Depends on the combination of Jeep weight and springs. A so-called 2.5" lift kit may lift anywhere from just over 2" to 3.5" depending on whether its a non-A/C manual ragtop with no bumpers, no recovery gear and a girl gymnast driving, or its a hardtop with A/C, automatic, bumpers, winch, tools, dual batteries, recovery gear and wide people in the front seats.

Mine rubbed with that Kit at full flex with 35" KM'2s, so yes you will rub. I had a 1/2 spacer in the front and back due to heavy bumpers and winch.

I would never go with a 1" spacer in front, unless there is something terribly wrong with TF coils, or you like a Jeep that looks like it is constantly taking a dump.

A heavy bumper and winch would make it sit nose low so a spacer would be useful.
