Teraflex 2.5 lift info needed
 
Hey guys,

I've had my 2007 Sahara JKU for a while, now I'm finally going to get some work done on it. :clap:

I've been reading the forums here and I think I have enough info to move forward.
I want to make sure everything I'm buying is going to be right and not overlook anything.

Here's my list:
1. Putting Nitto Trail Grapplers 35/12.5/18's on my stock 18 rims (+spare)
2. Spidertrax 1.5 spacers.
3. Teraflex 2.5" suspension lift (with coils and shocks)
4. Rugged Ridge spare tire mount bracket.

Is there anything I'm missing here? I've heard some add a 1" spacer upfront, will I need that to be level? Stock bumbers at the moment, but will be getting one and winch down the road.
Also, I may go with the bilstein shocks kit I saw posted here on the forums. Is it worth the extra $$$?

Use: DD plus weekend trails.

Thanks!!!!!! :beer:

Post pics! Post pics! I'm curious about the leveling/spacer up front requirement as well. I've read mixed reviews and pics on this forum. R u sure a 35x12.5 will fit the stock rim safely? I'm getting a Sahara and thought that may be too much tire for the wheel. There, I've implied more questions than answers, eh?

Oh hey you live close to me! are you putting the lift on yourself or having someone else?

That's pretty much exactly what I am looking to do on my 2012 JKU Sahara (the only difference is I'm looking at Mickey Thompson tires). I wasn't sure if I needed the spacers or not...

Where are you getting this done? Do you mind me asking how much this should cost?

I posted a similar thread the other day, and near as I can tell, everyone is very satisfied with the TeraFlex 2.5" BB.


Keep me updated with what you find and I'll do the same.

I'm having the guys over at 4wheelparts install everything.
After the great Nashville flood I pretty much have a hammer and screwdriver left.

From what I've seen here on the forums they should fit fine. Anyone feel free to chime in if I'm wrong. :beer:

I put this lift in my 2011 JK. Do to a mix up, I had wanted to get the 3" lift, which comes with front sway bar disconnects, braided brake lines, and brackets in the back that relocated something-or-other (can't remember what off the top of my head), and possible something else. I'd recommend you look at this life kit before settling on the 2.5" one.

So far my total quote is 3,134.00
Thats all parts tax and install.
That includes the 5 Nittos too.

I'm planning on pulling the trigger on everything next week.
