Default Teraflex 2.5 Spring + Xenon = What Max Tire Size

Hey all. I now the 2.5 spring lift from tera says it will take a 35 tire. I was wondering if I can get away with a 37 since I have xenons. If not does anyone know what springs I would have to buy to get it to work? I want to stay as alow as possible but have 37s

You could probably get away with some Tereflex 3" springs ad be fine. Maybe just the rears.

You have a bumper and winch, so if you have a 4 door, I'd recommend you get 3" springs for the front and 2.5" for the rear.
I had the 2.5" BB, and my winch brought the front down way too far. I now have 3" springs up front and the 2.5" spacers in rear.
I think that with the right bumpstops to prevent stuffing too far into your fender, you might be able run 37's with 2.5" lift.

You should be good with 37" tires provided you have wheels with the proper backspacing. Trimming the pinch seam/ rubicon rock rails might be necessary, and it might still rub.

Xenon flares are like chopping the stock flares, IMO, on a TF 2.5, 35s max under full articulation. I have the TF BB + a 3/4" puck in the front, 3.25" total. Running on 35" MT/R Kevlars, I only have like 1" before it rubs the flare. You'll definitel rub with 37s.

If you want 37s, you'll need a body lift with the TF 2.5, try the setup that Planman has, it works.

2.5" and Xenon flares will clean 38's awesome. put in the right bump stops and you won't rub anything.

i have 35's and they are dwarfed, wish i had 37s. flexed the chit out of her the other weekend and touched nothing at all thought, was sweet.

Let me preface my post with the fact that I have not personally done this.



That being said from every thing that I have read I would not hesitate to run a 2.5 lift and 37's as long as you hacked your fenders. Just get longer bumpstops.
