Default Teraflex leveling kit w/Rubicon upgrade

So, after mulling it over, I am going to install a teraflex leveling kit. I also decided to scrap my Sahara stock springs/shocks for a rubicon setup. Am I missing any glaring problems with this? Or will this setup work as I intend it to? I just want to level her out and upgrade the stock equipment.

this should work and you will probably gain a little extra lift with the rubi springs

Works great on my 2 door. I'm running the TF leveling kit and 18/59 springs. With the bushwacker flat flares I clear 35s no problem.

Well what spring numbers do you have now? Not are Rubi springs are better than Sahara springs depending on options.

Any driveline problem with the leveling kit and the boost in springs?? Most say they get approx. 1 1/2" from the springs. If adding the 2" spacer in front along with the 1" in the back I was afraid it would be to much for my 2 door. I have 14-57 springs..


Any input please..

Thanks Smitty

Never even considered that...thanks for the insight. I'll double check before the kit install. Just figured to throw that stuff on while I was putting the kit on. Anyone have any serious trouble with this kit? I read and heard its a 3-4 hour install.

I have been running TF Leveling kit with 18/59 springs on my 2 door for quite awhile now. I have aftermarket bumpers, winch, rock rails and still netted around 2-1/2" of lift.

Factory spring set was 14/56.

No drive line issues to report.

I did it in about an hour but I had a lift and air tools. Its a very easy install. Just read the directions before you start and you should be ok.
