Default Teraflex shocks

How do the teracflex shocks compare to stock rubicon shocks? Replace with the 2.5 bb or keep rubi shocks?
With the 3" kit it doen't appear to come with trackbar brackets or trackbars, does this mean not neccessary at this height?

With all the talk about how good the Full Traction shocks are, I would be inclined to try them instead of Teraflex shocks. The 3" Teraflex kit does come with a frame-mounted rear track bar relocation bracket, but no front bracket. Your front axle will end up being 1/2" offset to the driver's side. With the 2.5 budget boost, I don't think it is an issue.

Yes, the Teraflex rear bracket bolts to the frame and is very strong. It is currently the best one I have seen. I have not yet replaced my track bar with an adjustable one. I haven't had any adverse affects from it being slightly offset, so it hasn't been a priority. Some people report that their JKs pull to the left though without an adjustable bar. I will probably modify my bar with a heim joint instead of buying a new one just to save the $$$.

I got the Tera shocks with the 2.5 BB and like them. I don't know how they compare with the stock Rubi shocks though, I have a Sahara.
BUT, everyone that I can think of has said good things about using the stock shocks with the Tera extenders.

OR as posted the M-Force maybe??

So does it use a bracket for the front track bar too or not?

Question. I just installed the 2.5bb and there was no bracket for the rear track bar. Is there supposed to be one?

Running through the numbers, assuming a 36" trackbar, a 3" lift should shift the axle 1/8".
