Default TeraFlex JK Leveling kit

I just picked my car up from the dealer and after I got home I looked in the box at the old parts and noticed they did notuse the rear spacers, should I be concerned? A tad pissed that they did not do it.

The Teraflex leveling kit, (4) 1″ spacers for the front and (2) 1″ spacer in the rear. The kit includes the 6 spacers, longer front swaybar links, and needed bolts. This kit doesn’t require shock extensions or bumpstop extensions

ok, just checking there are two of them.

Yeah, that's the same kit I have. Is there any reason they didn't do the back? Did you check the front? Maybe they put them in wrong?

I installed mine, I don't see how you could not use the rears. Does it look level?

I have the same leveling kit on mine. The idea is since the front is already lower than the rear, using just one of the shims from the front kit will level the jeep. If the whole kit is used, the the jeep gets leveled, and gains an over all 1 inch of lift. Maybe your dealership misunderstood what you wanted? I don't know. Hopefully they didn't throw away the rest of the spacers on you, because that would really suck my friend.

They used all of the front spacers in the front - so 4 total. The 2 rear were still in the box. I am thinking about taking it back in the AM and making them install the rear.

Should I take it back and have them install the rear?

yeah good idea. You have to use the whole kit or else its pretty much a waste of money. Plus with that kit on, it lets you squeeze in bigger tires without going to a full out 2.5 inch lift. I think somewhere on the forum there a a few posts of guys using the stock 17 inch rims and getting 33" tires in there with that kit. Theres also a few people saying they got bigger in there with the stock rims, but i think they had to use wheel spacers for that. Either way, go get the whole kit installed, it takes a shop with a hoist no time.

Just got done installing mine today. After the front was down the CFO came out when it was down on the ground and I hadnt put the rear spacer in and she noticed it right away. Got he, "Hey, now it looks raked the other way" from her. Just take it back and have them install the rears, Doesnt take as much time as the front and you'll be glad you did. Or bring it by and I'll help ya pop them in.
