Default TeraFlex BB 2.5 Spring full flex (pic)

Figured I would put the JK under full flex today. I should have went with 3" springs. This is flexed to the bump stop. I figured I would have made it past the pole. Need to take a 1" off my bump stops or something. I flexed the rear and got higher up about 3 " past the pole.

Are you going to flats? Or at least prepared to chop the flares up? Pulling out some bumpstop will have the tires rubbing...

Plan on Bushwacker Flats this spring. I should have snaped a pic from the side and when I flexed the rear it was impressive. Added that 1" spacer made a big difference. Still had decent amount of clearance left. Also plan on a MORE 1" body lift this spring.

Here's some before and after shots of flex on the same gravel pile.

^^^ That is a stock set up though right?? Looks like it.

Does Teraflex make shorter bump stops I guess?? I would like to have a little more flex. Because I will have plenty of room here real soon. And would like to take care of this first. My front brake lines still had plenty of play.
