Default teraflex BB to coil lift upgrade
i have an 08 Unlimited X with the Teraflex 2.5" BB currently and just got their spring set to upgrade to the full coil lift. I know this will help level out the rake, but i am also adding a XHD bumper and Smittybuilt 8000lb winch. Should i add in .5" spacers to the front coils to compensate for the added new weight? has anyone done this?

Yes, add a .75" spacer in and you'll be set. I have 2.5" coils, with the XHD bumper and Warn winch, all sits nice an level now.

Yup... go 3/4" as stated. I have this setup and the stance is just right. See gallery for pics.
