Default Teraflex Performance leveling kit

Hey guys! Just a quick question. I just traded in my 2011 for a 2013 2dr Sport and I'm looking this time to only level out my jeep. I'm really leaning towards the Teraflex Performance leveling kit and getting some Rubicon shocks. Will I need front lca's to adjust caster or is it so minor that it won't be necessary? Any info with someone running this kit would be helpful. Also does the kit give the jeep the usual flighty feel at highway speeds? Thanks in advance.

No need for control arms. It give you 2"s in the front and 1" in the rear. I had this setup with bilstein shocks before I upgraded. While the ride will be stiffer than stock I will drive the same. I still have the springs if your looking for a set. The longer sway bar links that came with mine where junk. The bushings shredded apart so I upgraded to some JKS quick disconnects.

I have that exact same setup (TF performance leveling + Rubi shocks) and I loved it! Jeep rides better then stock even at 85mph. I actually just ordered a RK 2.5in lift and am selling the TF leveling kit (already sold the rubi shock...sorry). See my thread:

I'm actually in Chicago as well (southwest burbs) and could give you a good deal on the kit if you come pick it up....Or if you wanted to check it out on my rig before I remove it to see if you like it you can stop by and check it out this weekend as i will be removing it on Monday. PM me if you are interested!

I agree 100% on the tf sway bar links being poor quality. I can't imagine the grease zerk would last more then one outing. I too have jks and hard to beat. I just traded my jku for a rubicon and most likely will be going with the same springs again.
