Hey everyone

I am about to purchase the Teraflex 2.5" Suspension kit with coils and shock adapters. I am looking at either Mud Grapplers or MTz 33" tires.
3 questions...
1) Do I need an adjustable front track bar with this setup on my 2 Door Manual JK Rubi? If so which brand (Thinking about Monster Track bar by TF - expensive though...needed or worth the expense?)
2) Do I need a steering stabilizer for this modest setup. A local shop said it was needed but in my reading, that was the first I heard about needing that with 33" tires. Understood with 35" or larger...
3) Anyone experience more than 2.5" out of this kit with a 2 Door soft top Rubi, and if so how much?

Thanks for all the thoughts!

 

1) No. (if having the axle off-center bugs you, add one. If not, wait until you get around to it)

2) No. (if you have the spare cash, go for it. But not needed.)

3) The 'old' TF 2.5" coils were known to give over 3.5" on soft top 2doors. They have some new 2door specific 2.5" coils now, but haven't seen any actual lift heights from those yet. You might PM the TF rep to check it out?

 

Which 2.5" Teraflex springs are you using? If they are SKU #1853102 for the front springs and SKU #1854102 for the rear springs, those springs will provide 2.5" of lift on a four door hard top JK. I had those springs on my last Jeep, a 2 door hard top JK, and with aftermarket bumpers and a Warn winch they gave it 3" of lift. I am going to use those same springs on my new 4 door JK, so I'm expecting 2.5" of lift this time around. I think the monster trackbar is worth including, as is a rear trackbar bracket. I am going to run my 4 door JK with the 2.5" lift and the stock 32" Rubicon tires for the first little while, and I wont be adding a steering stabilizer until I add the flat fender flares and 37" tires.

So to answer your questions:
1) Yes
2) No
3) at least 3"

 

I helped a friend put the same TF coil lift on his 2010 JKU. He got 3 1/4 in the front. Stock bumpers with a soft top. He also used the TF monster front track bar and TF lower control arms. It doesn't have to have the control arms but it really makes it drive just as good as stock. The monster trackbar is strong and adjust like a tie rod. Good quality stuff.
