Ok Jeepers! I have decided to lift my 2011 Rubicon JKU. After researching this forum and a few others I believe the kit that best suites me is the Teraflex 2.5 inch with shock adapters. I am also tracking I need a wheel spacer kit (teraflex part number 1055000). Here are my questions:

1. Any specific advice on the install. I have read the writeup here and that answered a lot of my questions, but are there any other nuggets of knowledge out there?

2. Wheel spacers, do I need a pair or two pair? I believe only one pair is needed, but wouldn't that make the front tires stick out a bit more then the rear?

3. Where to buy from. Right now it's about the same for all items from Northridge 4x4, Teraflex, and Quadratec.

I am mostly interested in trails / minor rock crawling. This is my daily driver. I am not planning on upgrading tires or wheels until these stock ones wear down (15k miles on the now). I have access to an auto craft center with lots of tools and two hydrolic lifts.

All advice is greatly appreciated. See you on the trails.

Cheers!

 

If you've already read through the write-up, you're pretty much set. Just take your time and you will be fine. I usually use Northridge or Q-tec, free shipping from either so really just personal preference.

You will want spacers for the rear or just like you said, your front tires will be sticking out further.

Good luck with the install!

 

Thanks AFPilot82. This is going to be a blast. Will post pics when complete.

Cheers!

 

2007 JK with 130K miles. Installed a Teraflex 2.5" spacer lift when the JK was brand new and have run 35x12.5" tires ever since. It has done very well on and off-road without additional mods.
