Teraflex 2.5'' Coil Lift and 1'' Spacers??
I think I am going to just order the Teraflex 2.5'' coil lift kit with shock adapters. I don't want to go too high but I was also thinking about ordering the Teraflex 1'' coil spacers to use with this lift. That would give me about 3.5'' of lift and would be budget friendly and install friendly. Would I be able to still do this with stock Rubicon shocks and shock adapters? Or will it be too much. Also I am not going to do any rock crawling but I will go off road every now and then. I know the issue with the driveshaft but I really don't want to spend the extra dough on a new driveshaft at the moment. Would I be ok or should I just get the coil lift alone? Thanks in advance for your input and advice.

Coil lift alone bro. I have this kit on my jeep currently and I love it. Perfect amount of lift for a daily driver. And once you pass that 3" mark you are going to start running into other issues, including the drive shaft issue you mention. Some say the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift is actually a true 3" lift anyways.

I did exactly what you want to do this week. I installed the teraflex 2.5" bb and installed a day star 1" poly body lift. Very simple and looks friggin perfect. The teraflex was with the shock extenders and let me tell you I'm rolling on 35" nitto trail graps...and it's like a stock vehicle. Couldn't be happier. Let me know if you have issues.

Oh yeah...I didn't think of it like that. You can understand my confusion. That wouldn't make a lot of sense to me but to each his own. To add a spacer to a coil lift wouldn't seem safe to me. To do what i did (body lift) is a simple way to get that inch. Plus it only took an extra 2hrs. Best of luck anyways

I have this setup on my JK and trying to sell it. Looks good, functions great but just want softer springs...where are you located?
Even with just the 2.5 lift I was starting to show grease spraying on my front driveshaft boot..
I'll post some images in the morning.

Y'all have brought up some good points. I think the 2.5 is the way to go. Does anyone know how good Trail Master lifts are? They make a lift with a 3" rear spacer and a 5" front spacer. It levels out the front and gives the whole jeep a 3" lift.
