Looks good. Stock shocks?

 

Rancho 7000's and 285/75-17

 

Almost a 34" tire then. Thanks. Trying to figure out what I'm going to do in the near future when I go to 315/70/17 Duratrac which is 34.4"

 

I had a teraflex 4 lift kit on my old tj it rhode way smooth

 

I am waiting for my 315/75-16's My buddy has Mickey Thompson apz3p's in 315/70-17 and the toyos are very close to the same height and up front I will have no issues with rubbing disconnected as I have lots of clearance at max flex. In the back I might need to add 1/2" spacer or put taller bumpstops in back. currently I have 2" bumpstops up front and 1" in the back. right now at max flex under certain conditions I will rub slightly in back. Not enough to do anything other then make noise to let me know I am rubbing.

 

So sent a few emails and found out the spring rate on the coils.


Teraflex 1.5 coils for a 4 door are: front 170/rear 200.

TIJM 1.5 coils for a 4 door are: front 170/rear 235.

I didn't get the spring rate for the 2door coils. I couldn't find an email for Rock krawler to get the spring rate for their 1.5 lift.

 

I'm about to add the TF could to my 17/59 combo Rubicon. I will be running stock shocks unless I hate them for some reason. I'm just trying for a slight amount of lift and leveling. I will post pics once installed. Did anyone notice any steering issues with the TF coils??

 

I am on the teraflex spacer leveling kit. I swapped out to Monroe reflex monotubes and the suspension works great. I have 18/59s stock on my Sport unlimited. I did notice some lightness in the wheel. My caster spec is right at the limit of stock. I am really debating going with a set of AEV drop brackets. On their measurements you take on the AEV website im only 1/8th of an inch off what they recommend for installing the brackets. I am unsure if the spring lift will give as much height as I got from my spacers. I was looking at going to a full teraflex system with 2.5" lift, 8 arms speed bumps etc. But I think im going to keep what I have now, install an energy suspension master kit, grade 8 bolt kit (which I need bad), and maybe the drop brackets. I will be adding airbags in the rear for the times I take my pop up camper and/or a load of weight.

I have a lifetime warranty on my shocks so that works great. I have my 2 rear shocks being replaced now, and the two front are getting replaced next month. Free of charge. The rear passenger shock has a blown bushing, so my dealer replaced both for me. I don't think any of the big names have lifetime warranty on their shocks at the dealer level. The Monroes stiffend the ride over the stock sport shocks and make the jeep handle much better over every surface.

The reason I wanted to swap out a little bigger spring was to run bumpers, but again, I think I just talked myself out of them again! My rig rides, and does everything I want of it right now, so Maybe I will not upset the apple cart.

 

I'm hoping my TF coils only level it out with small amount of lift. I don't want any steering issues or flightiness.

 

I wasn't expecting any but There is some there. its not to bad, but noticeable. Other than that, the jeep handles on and off road fantastic. We use the jeep about 3 - 4 times a week off road. We are always in the bush with it. I have no NEED for another suspension, but you know what its like. I keep talking myself out of it because of how good my jeep is now!
