Default TeraFlex BB to TersFlex Coils

Can anyone tell me what is needed to switch to coils? I recently put on Lod front mid-width bumper with a XRC8 Winch, LoD Sliders and a LoD rear bumper with swingout to hold my 35" BFG KM2. I definitely lost clearance from the BB so I think it's time to put on coils. Here's my dilemma.....should I put on 3" coils up front and 2.5" coils in the rear and keep my factory shocks with the TF shock extensions? Is that all I really need to do? Just trying to level the Jeep out some more and gain back the clearance that I lost with the heavy bumpers and winch. I already have JKS disco's and all the parts that come with the TF BB on the Jeep. Anything else needed?

Also, does anyone here think switching to the OME HD coils and LT shocks worth it? Thanks for your input in advance!

best thing is to call dave at northridge and he will be able to steer you in the right direction.if you want it back to the way that it was before the bumpers most likely you will just have to put 2 1/2 tera coils on the front and call it a day!

I already went through this (BB to coils). All you need are the coils, the remainder of the kit parts are identical. However, instead of buying just the coils I actually bought a complete 2.5" coil kit (w/o shocks) as the price was almost the same for just the coils and had the TF coils installed in place of the factory coils and 2.5" TF spacers. I then turned around and put the 2.5" spacers in the box and sold a complete 2.5" BB on this forum.

The 2.5" coils leveled the Jeep out nicely considering the bumper/winch combo up front and it rides much better than factory. If you do get the TF shocks make sure to order/install the rear 1/2" spring guide/spacer other wise your rear coils will fall out during articulation since the TF shocks extend to a long 28"...trust me. I'm running the factory Rubi shocks with extensions as I didn't want the 1/2" rear spacer in there to give me the rake back that I just corrected. With a heavy rear bumper you have...you may be OK with the 1/2" rear spacer. Hope that helps.
