Like the title says - Thinking about changing out my current BB, and going with the new Teraflex 2 door spring type leveling kit.

Question for those who have the 4 door kit (or the 2 door would be better, but it is a brand new kit) how does it flex when using stock shocks? As good as stock, worse than stock, better than stock!?

The reason I am asking, is it seems like 2" is a lot to lose for down travel of the stock shocks. I know it has been said that the stock shocks are fine, but would like some real world feed back (2 door rubicon - automatic) Will be running probably strong 33's to 34's fyi.

Any info. is greatly appreciated. have been searching like crazy, but not getting straight answers. Thanks in advance

 

I have the 4 dr TF coil kit on my 4 dr 2010 Rubicon UL. I haven't measured the flex, but if anything, it feels like there is at least as much articulation as before. There's also the obvious benefit of increased ground clearance. I got slightly more than 2" of lift in the front and just over 1" in the rear.

Overall, it's a great kit that makes the JK sit how it should. The ride is great and there seems to be less dive while braking and turning.

 

my 2 dr kit flexes much better than b4 even with stock shocks. I dont notice the shocks as being too short. You will love the ride and flex of this kit. I have had it 4 3 months now.

 

Ok. thanks guys Any one else?

 

That is what I am saying. Teraflex, etc. says it is fine to run with stock shocks, but that seems pretty tall (at least in the front anyway) to run stock shocks with

 

I plan on purchasing this kit as well. I think that I am going to plan on running a longer shock up front (or a shock extension) and a stock length one in the rear.

Planman, this is the new 2dr kit that raises the front 2" and the rear 1".

 

That is what I am thinking too. Now, how bad would it be to run my current Bilstein 5100's in the front, and return to stock rubi shocks in the rear? would that completely mess up the ride/handling, or would it be ok

thanks for the replies everyone, by the way

 

I don't know how bad it would mess up the ride but you would more than likely have a difference since the dampening rates might be different.

Do you have the 5100s for the rear? Are they for a lifted vehicle? If so...just get longer brake lines and check to see if you need bump stops.

 

Yeah, I have the Bilsteins all around with a 1-3/4" BB right now. Part of why I want to switch it out, is because the bilsteins are too long, and it looks like my rear springs have the potential of falling out during full articulation. I already have rear brake line extensions, so no worrys there. I am just looking for a kit that is more "correct" rather than the one I have now pieced together, and is not really correct in the first place.

 

WOW! That is strong enough to work? I never thought to try that, great idea, Thanks!
