i got my TF 2.5" spring lift today getting ready to install on my 4 dr. rubi. i haven't decided on tires yet 33 vs 35. i'm going to start with shock extenders & try that & probably add longer shocks later. i want at least a level stance or slightly up in front. this is primarily a DD. do i need a spacer in front to eliminate rake?
Thanks

 

My understanding (since mine is in the box sitting next to the jeep in the garage) is that the front will give you 1/2-1" more lift than the rear to level the jeep out. If you've got a really heavy bumper and winch then think about the spacer, but honestly you should be good without it.

 

Thanks for speedy response i may add bumper & winch later but for now just OEM. what size tires you going with?

 

I'm sticking with the stock rubi tires/wheels for now. Once I clear it with my financial planner I'll probably go 35s. It really depends on how much I drag my guts at EJS.

 

When I did the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with shock extensions my front end ended up a little in the air as you want. I did not add any spacers but my JK is a 2 door. One I put a front bumper and winch on, it leveled out nicely in my opinion. Here is a picture after the lift was installed.

I installed the TF 2.5" BB (new shocks and spacers all around). Then I installed the TF coils up front and mine(07 unlt rubi) sits a little nose high with a warn 9.5ti and the XHD stubby bumper. I'll be upgrading to 35" tires this spring so it should fill out nicely.

 

The 2.5" TF coils alone will give you a good level stance (3" lift up front, 2" lift rear). When you get a bumper/winch combo you can add a 3/4" spacer up front to get your stance back since you'll lose about 1/2"-3/4" with a full width bumper and winch. That's where I'm at and love it ...
