Teraflex 2.5" Budget Boost & Shock Adapters
I am considering Teraflex 2.5" Budget Boost & Shock Adapters for my JK X 2dr manual, and whilst i read through quite a few threads as well as the FAQ, i kindly require some wisdom.
1. do i need to get adjustable track bar front and rear?
2. do i need a rear track bar bracket? (such as TF rear Track bar Bracket)
3. do i need adjustable control arms? and if so which? (upper/ Lower - Front /Rear)
4. do i need a rear or front double cardan driveshaft?
5. I am considering to regear to 4,56, currently 3,21
, and my JK is a daily driver, will the combination 33" with 4,56 create any more needs in hardware?
6. is the specific BB lift creating a level stance?
7. in the future if i ad a front heavy bumper how can i correct additional front droop?
thank you for your advise a priori

thanks Geeper for the quick reply.
I reside in Greece and therefore shipping works out expensive. however thank you for the offer.
As far as going to 35" I am a bit worried that the front d30 won't agree with such a heavier than stock size load. (any feedback on that is welcome)
Can I add the RC spacers along with the BB?

.1. No
2. If not, your rear wheels will offset by 1". It comes in with the Teraflex BBL kit.
3. No
4. No
5. Think it would be a good idea, just gears (and maybe rear locker...)
6. Same as stock, you use the same coils and shocks...
7. Add a .75" coil spacer on top of the BBL ones.

I run 35s on a D30 with no problems.
I don't know about the 2 door models, but when I installed a front bumper and winch on my 4 door, my front springs sagged so low that I was almost riding on my bumpstops. I had to remove my front BB spacers and install 3" Teraflex coils. Depending on the weight of your front bumper (mine was very heavy), you could probably do 2.5" coils on a 2 door Jeep. You could also try using coils taken from a Rubicon model, as stated earlier.

.1. Don't need them, but I recommend the adjustable front to keep the axle in line and reduce the chance of the ESP freaking out.
2. The bracket should come with the BB. I currently use one on the rear.
3. Don't need the control arms, but steering might be a bit flightier than you are used to.
4. no
5. I'm using 33" tires with my 2-door manual and 4.10 gears and have no problems. if you ever intend on going to 35" or bigger, get 4.88 gears.
6. The BB is a spacer lift, so you retain the stock rake (slight nose-down look).
7. I added a Rugged Ridge stubby bumper and a Smittybuilt XRC8 winch and the front didn't droop. I'm also using the 4-door hardtop tow-package springs, however, so the additional 100+ pounds didn't make a difference.
