Default Tereflex 2.5 Budget boost question

I am thinking of getting the Tereflex Budget Boost for my JK Unlimited Rubicon. My jeep has a stock front rake. Will this lift level my JKU or will just lift it evenly 2.5in? I am also getting a aftermarket steel front bumper.

If i remember correctly the rear spacers aren't as tall as the fronts so it may help the rake slightly, however, because you will be running factory springs they will sag and it will bring your rake back.

I just installed the Teraflex 2.5 BB. The spacers are the same size so you will still have the factory rake. Just 2.5" higher.

If he is correct in saying that the front spacers are taller than the rear, then wont it level it out?

I am not sure how you are affirming that it WONT level it out if the front spacer is taller than the rear. :shrug:

Yes the fronts are taller however they are not tall enough to level the JK out. Our 2.5" coils raise the front 3.1", these just about level a jk.
