Default TeraFlex 2.5" Coil and 35's (2DR)

Does anyone have some pictures of the Teraflex 2.5" coil on a 2DR with 35' KM2's? I found a huge thread, but most have other mods like bumpers, etc. I would like to see how it sits with 35's no leveling kits, winches etc.

Also for those that run this lift and wheel hard, have you had any trouble with the drive shafts? I read people are tearing the boot. Is this specific to Autos or does it affect manuals as well?

Finally - Do you know if the Teraflex shocks are longer then the stock shocks with adapters?

Any help would be great. I am about to order this setup just want to be sure.

Yes...much longer. That's why they require the 1/2" coil spacer/retainer if you get the TF 9550's with this lift. The rear 9550's extend to 28" where the factory shocks with extensions extend to 25.5". Here's a list of some other manufacturer shocks and lengths I compiled awhile ago.

Hope this helps you out, I just installed a set of 35 inch KM2's with 17x8 Black rock wheels and a 2.5 inch teraflex coil lift with spacers. Excellent lift other than I am having a rubbing issue with my brake line on the rear right side at the moment. I have an auto and no driveshaft issues.
