I just installed my 2.5" TF coil lift this past Saturday and it is awesome. The only problem was that the front bump stop extensions were missing from my kit. I've contacted Teraflex and they're already shipping them out to me, but my question is:

Can I install them without having to pull out the front springs?

I feel like the install went so smoothly and the ride has been so problem free that I don't really want to tempt fate by undoing anything. I know that people have said that letting them soak in some hot water for a while makes the install easier along with greasing them up a little.

 

Unfortunately no you can't. Even if you manage to just lower the axle and not let the spring drop, you would have a harder time trying to pop the BS in. The easiest and quickest way is to completely remove the spring to install the BS. The good thing is that you did it the first time and the second one would be a charm. Just follow the same process, double check your work and you should be fine....Congrats and post some pics when you are done....

 

If u have flat fenders or trimmed stock ones, or longer than recommended shocks, u shouldn't need the front bumpstops.

 

Not to high jack your thread but I am thinking of the same kit. They only have 2 2.5 kits or is it just one? Anyway the ride is good? Did it lift the front a little higher or just level it? Wasn't sure if new control arms were needed either. Last question I promise! Any viberations or anything?? thanks for your time

 

I believe there is only 1 kit. The kit lifts the 4dr's about 3" and about 4" for 2dr's. It definitely rides better than stock, I have.a rubi so I got the kit with shock extensions tho. It pretty much leveled my jeep out but it sags a little in the front now cuz I hav.a warn rock crawler stubby bumper with.warn vr8000 winch. So far I haven't replaced my control arms yet but I did replace the front track bar with a teraflex monster track bar, it helped out a lot for the on road handling cuz it won't flex like the stock one. And if u have 35's or 37's like me, its a good idea to toe in the front wheels 1/8th" and that pretty much gets rid of the "flightiness" on the road. I have had this kit for 4 months now, its my daily driver and take it offroad almost every weekend and I don't have any vibrations or anything. It's an awesome kit!

 

There's really just 2 different 2.5" lifts (budget boost & coil lift) with or without shocks. I got the 2.5" coil lift with shock adapters.

The ride is great. Maybe slightly flighty at higher speeds, but not really. I would say it lifted the front more noticeably than the rear, so that it looks leveled out now and overall higher. No control arms needed with this lift.

 

Here's a before and after picture with my stock tires:

 

Well there is the 2.5 coil lift for the 4 door which is really a 3 inch springs for the 2 door.

 

So is that what everyone is going with or the 2.5 for the 2 drs?

 

The springs are stiff so that they compensate for heavy bumpers and winches. So for a 4dr you will probably get about 3" of lift and for a 2dr you will get close to 4" of lift. The springs for both kits are the same so the the net height of lift will depend on if u have a 2dr or 4 and if u have.heavy bumpers or equipment in or on Ur jeep.
