Default Teraflex 2.5 Budget Boost w/adaptors

I am in the process of looking for a good lift to put on my 2 door X. I do wheel occasionally and was wondering how this was with 33s? Also, is there other things that need to be put on with this lift Driveshaft, etc?


Thanks for your input.

I am running the TF BB with Shocks. For the lift the only other item I needed to add was spacers for the stock rims.

Thanks for your input.
it's a great affordable setup and a good fit for 33's. at this height, you will not need to address your drive shafts.

Thanks guys, i am looking to run 33's also. Do you know if the kit comes with eveything to install? Also, with running 33's would it be better to go with Cragar soft 8's in 15's or 16's?

You can't run 15" rims...unless you plan on grinding down your calipers...they won't fit.

I have 15" aluminum wheels and didn't have to grind anything down.

yes, it will come with everything you "need". if you have the funds, adding something like an adjustable front track bar would be nice to help recenter your axle but, it's not necessary. regarding 33's, you can run those on your stock wheels with a set of wheel spacers but, if you really want a set of cragar's, i personally would go with the 16's over the 15's.

That is not necessarily true. There are numerous people here running 15s without having to do any grinding at all. Then there are people with the exact same wheel that have had to do minimal grinding to the caliper. Then there are aluminum options like the MB72 and MB Gunner5 that haven't posed any problems whatsoever.

I have the Teraflex 2.5 Bb lift with shock extensions and 35's... no issues at all. I did cut the front airdam so it didn't rub on it. I want just a little more lift to make it look a little better but still fits 35's fine.
