Default teraflex coil spacers??

Looking at spending 60 bucks roughly on coil spacers I already have a 2.5 in rough country lift and now looking at 1/2 Terra flex spacers. Will that extra half inch make need need anything more than I already have or should I be good. Will I really notice a half inch of lift more??

Default Ssimilar Question

I have a similar question...

I'm currently running a TeraFlex 1.5" leveling kit (New springs and tie rod links) and have ordered a AEV 2" Spacer lift.

I'm wondering if I can install the AEV on top of the TeraFlex coils and if buy doing so will I need to worry about anything else. (Link Arms, shocks, break lines)

Saw this post and thought I would throw this out there.

Thanks.

No you should be good. Only thing is pinion angles with your drive shafts. Worst case scenario you will lose a shaft and have to replace. This is very common with lifts 3"+. You should notice a slight change, but those spacers are mostly for compensation of bumpers and winches.

You also should be fine. As mentioned above, any lift over 3", it is always a good idea to replace shafts per the pinion angle at 3" of lift. As far as brake lines, you should be fine. Control arms would also adjust the pinion of the shafts and allow for bigger tires, as full arms move the axles in the wheel wells. Hope this helps you guys.
