Just installed the kit this weekend and broke it in on a nice and cold winter wheelin event. The kit was really easy to install and gives the jk a great stance. One of the best mods to date! I'll update with pics later

 

I have a TF 2.5 Coil Lift and was wondering if anyone put the leveling kit on top of a 2.5 coil kit. I am on the brink of adding a leveling kit but don't want to run into any other extra things I may have to do after installing. Has anyone done this? Thanks

 

Has anyone measured the change in ground clearance with this kit installed? I know it is just a puck on the spring, but how much does that change the clearance under the skidplates?

 

Its about 1.5" if you put the front and rear spacers in. If you leave the rears out, this would be around 1" of clearance.

 

I've only had my JK for two weeks and this was my first mod. I can't believe how big of a difference the subtle 1.5" (overall) lift makes. The stock 32s will be ok for now, but this kit just begs for a 33" tire.

BEFORE




AFTER (rain )



I used gpwpat's install technique of leaving the wheels on and letting the JK support itself. It took me longer than 40 mins, but it definately saved time versus removing the wheels and using multiple jacks/jackstands.

I did make a couple of minor tweaks to the install. You must remove the front sway bar end links (since you will replace them), but you only have to disconnect the bottom of the rear sway bar end links. Theres no need to remove the rears completely. Also, I had to remove all four brackets that hold the brake lines to the frame (not just the rears). Near the brake line at each wheel hub, there is a plastic covered wire (ABS sensor?) thats held down by plastic push pics. I pulled the push pins free, which gave me the extra few inches to jack up the corner of the frame. I had no other snags.

I didn't attach any front/rear pics, but I did the 1.5" Spidertrax spacers at the same time which is a must to 'balance' out the new look. The best part about these types of mods is that it's subtle enough to make it stand out from the stockers, but doesn't scream 'look at me.'

 

Anyone running 35's with this set up? Will Rubicon springs add any height to an X?

 

...installed mine. I couldn't be happier with the Terraflex kit or with Northridge. Thanks guys.

 

Look into a set of Spidertrax spacers. It seems to balance out the look of the subtle lift a bit.

 

I really like the way my jeep sits now with the TF leveling kit!

 

If anything (my Jeep included), the leveling kit seems to give a slight negative rake. But I'm basing that on the distance from the top of the tire to the fender flare... just seems that distance is a little more on the front after the kit is installed.

So I guess a front winch is needed?
