This is the same thing that I am wanting to get for mine. I have a Sahara. I can still run everything stock right? As far as shocks and stuff go right? Stock 18's with the Duelers. Want the lift and then go with tires next. And is it recommended to get the extra 3/4" spacers in the front to level it out?
TIA

Bump.......................

 

From Eddie's write-up it seems you can pretty much run everything stock with the lift. There have been some threads that spoke of getting shock extensions if you plan to use your stock shocks.

I went with the kit that included the Teraflelx shocks and I'm pretty happy with them. I should note that, other than driving the Jeep home from the dealer, I did not drive it at all in stock condition. I put the lift on right away along with the BDS rear trackbar relocation bracket and ProComp front adjustable track bar as I did not want to chance any offset (and I needed to do it all up front to eliminate the possibility of the wife forbidding it later!). I had 35" MT's on aftermarket wheels waiting so those went on too. Love the results.

 

I don't know if the 3/4" spacer is recommended to level it out, but that is what I am hoping.

 

The picture was taken while on a slight slope.

 

Is the front higher than the rear? Or, is that because of the slope?

 

It is the slope. It actually sits just about even. I do have a winch and LoD front bumper. The LoD Rear bumper is much heavier then the stock bumper. All in all I am extremely happy with the way it looks.

 

Talked to Northridge4x4 last night, I decided to go with the TF 2.5" BB in the back and to replace the front coils with HD coils. The guy I spoke with said that would be a better way of leveling my JK instead of using a spacer.
