Default Whats needed for 2" lift?

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone tell me if I need anything other than the coil spring spacers and front sway bar links that come with the Teraflex Levling Kit (1" rear lift and 2" front lift). Also will I need to do anything to the jeep after I install the leveling kit? Do I need to dial in steering or anything else of that nature?

Also does anyone know if I can get away with just installing coil spring spacers if I do a 1.75" front lift and .75" rear lift, or will I need any other components, such as sway bar links, bump stops, or anything else. If I stick with the 1.75" front and .75" rear do I need to do anything else as stated in the paragraph above?

Thanks!

I did a 2" BB kit ( spacers by Rubicon Express) & it came with longer shocks & it was fine with nothing else rode perfect, I did how ever change the sway bar end links for longer ones just cause I wanted to but it didn't need it

hope this helps

That is all you need with the teraflex leveling kit.bump stops are for taller tires keeps them from rubbing fenders .wheel spacers will be needed with wider tires. hope this helps.you will have to straighten your steering wheel after the left.

Adjust the relay rod (some call it a drag link). The relay rod is the one without the knurled plastic collar; it just has a steel clamp and pair of bolts.
