Default Here is a list

It is for the TF 2.5 BB with adapters but it should be very similar if not the same.

Which size springs are you installing? I believe the 2.5 inch springs go in pretty easy but you will probably need a spring compressor for the 3 inch+ springs.

OK....I may have a problem....

The tire shop called and said my tires are in. I have the new wheels waiting for the tires but the shop needs the tire pressure sensors from the stock wheels so they can complete my new setup. The problem is need to put the lift on before I put tires and I need to put tires on before the lift....get it...I know, me neither.

SO, here is the question. Can I install the lift and ride with the stock wheels up to the shop (2 miles) WITHOUT spacers. TF said I need spacers to run stock wheels with the TF 2.5 coil lift.

Another option is to take my stock wheels off the JK and take them to the shop with the new wheels and have them do all that....all while the jk sits at home on blocks waiting for me to put the lift on this weekend.

Thanks guys

Just dont turn the wheel 100% one way or the either (so full lock), and avoid any major bumps, you will be fine.. I drove with myt ires i have now before I put on my 2.5" lift.

That's what I thought....you say you ran that way with the wheels you have but those where pintlers....right....I have the stock 17's, think the results will be the same though
