teraflex question
I have a teraflex levelling kit it came with front and rear spacers and extended swaybar links. I was wondering if i should be looking into slightly longer shocks or anything like that. I have been experiencing kind of a loose feeling in front end while going slow or even at normal town speeds over bumps. Sort of feels like maybe my shocks are maxing out. It is constant on an iced up gravel road as well. Anyone have any thoughts, teraflex rep perhaps?

Make sure your trackbar (and everything else) is torqued properly and that the springs were seated correctly. The ride should feel the same, just taller. Your axels will be slightly out of line from the lift but that shouldn't be causing this. Did you recenter your steering wheel?

Thanks for the replies. I have had my steering wheel centered and torqued everything twice, once after 100 km. I was thinking about the 0-2 inch shocks but i will double check the springs are seated properly. I noticed some loose feelings before the lift but seems like its worse now? Could it be just over-anylizing the rough ride of a stock 2dr sport? Im sure it was better a few months ago but i will be test driving one off the lot this weekend to compare as well.

Also i have an e rated set of 265/75/16 all terrains on a set of rims with i think 4 inch backspacing dont know if this could be part of my issue. I have been running pressure at 33 psi and not much change from 35 i was running except tpms light is always on.

Get this figured out? Seems very strange to me. How does it ride at highway speeds? My only remaining thought is to try increasing your psi a little and see if that helps. Have you tried the chalk test to see if they are at a good wear pressure? Might be too low and so you are feeling the tires flex. But 33 should be perfectly fine. Like I said, its my last thought.
