Default Teraflex vs. 3/4" spacer

OK, I have a box from Northridge 4X4 with my Teraflex Leveling kit, you know the one with the pucks, and I am just questioning weather or not I should really go through with the install.

I think I am going to stick to 32" tires and just get BFG TKO's next time around, but that could take years before the stock tires wear out. I really just want to level the jeep. Kinda weary of 33's slowing down the Jeep, not wanting to drop extra for re gearing too.

I have only seen pictures of jeeps on here with the Teraflex leveling kits, but never seen one in person, making this a tough decision for me.

So I am wondering if I should just go with a 3/4 inch spacer and use the spare change for something else, thoughts anyone?

Your jeep will look tits with the leveling kit and 32's. A nice little boost. It will look like it should have from Chrysler.

If you are unsure about the lift, send it back and go bigger!!!

I think I am in about the same boat as you. I'd like to put a small lift on my 2010 sahara, but cant justify new tires right now, just stick with stock till they wear out.

I could justify the leveling kit, but dont know if it would be worth it, havent really seen any pics of a stock setup with just leveling kit and stock wheels and tires.

I couldn't agree more. That tiny bit of lift doesn't sound like much, but it sure seems to make a world of difference in appearance. Pull the trigger.

Tons of pictures around - here's my 2007 Sahara with TF Leveling kit and stock wheels/tires. The kit is inexpensive and easy to install - I think it adds just the right amount of lift for an otherwise stock JK - rake is gone, and the lift is subtle but noticeable;

Thanks, I needed a little push!

I dropped the kit off at the neighborhood mechanic's place. Gotta wait until net weekend.
