Default Teraflex 2.5" Lift Question

I didn't really know how to search this and figured I could get an answer quicker anyways.

I have the 2.5" BB with shock extension currently but am looking to upgrade to the spring lift. Can I simply replace my shocks and springs with the 2.5" from Teraflex?

Yes, your BB would have came with the same bumpstops, rear swaybar links, and brake extensions as the coil kit.

Track bar relocation bracket. You'll have to add that.

I am in the process of doing the same thing. The question is are you replacing the spacers & factory springs or just factory springs with the 2.5" springs? I am taking off the 2.5" spacers and replacing with 1" spacers. I also bought front brake line extensions. I plan on replacing the rear trackbar bracket also.

I was originally thinking of just switching the factory springs and taking the spacers off. Wouldn't putting the spacers on top of the 2.5" Teraflex Springs be pushing the driveshaft in a 2-door?

Yes it would be, so you might want to consider some adjustable control arms and a rear driveshaft.

After looking into changing my setup to the 2.5" springs, I found a set of 4 door 2.5" springs and shocks.

My question is will this still work with simply swapping out the springs and shocks? I was expecting this will net my 2 door over 3"?

Thanks in advanced.
