Wink Another noob jeeper with a question regarding Suspension/Leveling Kits!

I have a 2012 JKU that I am adding a Teraflex 2.5" suspension lift to run 35's on Friday, however I would also like my jeep to be leveled out, is it possible to run a leveling kit along with a suspension lift or will certain parts interfere?
I am new to the Jeeping world and would appreciate any help! Trying to learn the most I can from everyone!

Thanks!

The proper term is "rake" regarding the "leveling out" of your Jeep just so you know for future reference my fellow jeeper....

You can use coil spacers or a leveling kit, yes - you will be fine. Just so you know, if you recently installed the 2.5" lift (springs and shocks?) you might get some sag over time as well, which will change how your Jeep sits yet again....just keep that in mind.

I would wait and see how the 2.5" lift does in regards to your rake.

I installed it on mine, and I have .75" lower in front, however, I also have AEV front bumper, skid plate and warn 9.5 winch on there, with just AEV bumper in the rear.

So your jeep might come out level if you don't have extra # in the front like I do.

If you do have a little rake in front after you put on your 2.5" lift, you can always put on a spacer in the front. Many people do.

They come from .25"-2.5" thicknesses. All spacers are the same, some just look different. Poly spacers are Poly spacers, whether it is TeraFlex or Daystar or any of them z

Thank you everyone!

Yes, both the springs and shocks will be changed out. I think I will go ahead and wait to see how it turns out with the 2.5" lift. I plan on adding to the front end as well, so perhaps it would be best to see how that affects everything!

I appreciate the help and terminology!
