Teraflex 2.5 inch coil lift with shocks rake observation
Prior to the TF lift using OEM heavy duty coils and shocks the front was 1.5 inches lower than the rear. The front has a heavy bumper and winch.
After installing the TF lift with TF coils and TF shocks, the front is the same height as the rear....
I was concerned about TF not being able to support the weight of the front bump and winch. But Teraflex came through...

I ordered the same lift, but added 1 inch spacers for the 1" drop I got with the bumper/winch/skid install. It was recommended I get the 4dr kit even tough I have a 2dr....for the added weight, I also have added skids underneath.. should be interesting.
should get it tomorrow and install soon after.
How much lift did you get???

Looks good! I'm just about to pull the trigger on this w/ David! Unlike some of my more subtle mods that have flown under the radar, I'm pretty sure I should discuss it with the better half!

The Lower Control Arm was added at the same time.

I actually pretty much retained the factory rake when I installed the TF lift, and now with a heavy front bumper and winch I need to add a spacer. That's my only hit on the kit though, and it appears they fixed the problem.

that is the 2 1/2 inch coil lift with shocks
I purchased the kit from David at Northridge 4x4 about 2 weeks ago. I know it is the new kit based on conversations with Joe at Teraflex. I measured the front and the back and they are about the same height. I even had a 3/4 inch spacer in case the front was lower than the rear. The 3/4 inch spacer is going back.

I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that there was no rake.
