Default Have Teraflex BB, want RK stock mod.

Ok so I have the BB installed on my 2012 jku, I want to upgrade to aftermarket coils and an adjustable front track bar. So the RK stock mod fits perfectly in my plan. I cant see a problem with this but i better ask. Is it fine to leave my teraflex extended bumpstops, rear brake line adapters, and my teraflex swaybar links? extensions,

They will all help make your stock mod more complete. I have the stock mod and it's been great.

What shocks are you going to run?

Thx for the reply, I figured those would all be great to make the stock mod complete cause its all the same stuff in the teraflex bb and the teraflex 2.5" coil lift.

As for the shocks I'm not completely sure, I will be ordering from Northridge4x4.ca. So I will have to check what Stan stocks. I'm guessing ill end up with either the 5100's or fox. What are you running with your stock mod system?

Also anyone with this have sag in the front from bumper and winch? Curious if I should order spacers and install at the same time. Thx everyone!

I'm running 5100s. My buddy just ordered Fox for his 3.5 Rock Krawler kit so I'll have something to compare too.

I can't see sag being too much of an issue because with the factory bumper I got more like 3.5" of lift in the front.

The only issue I have with the lift is a small one and it's that it's fairly twitchy on the highway and will track left or right with ruts in the rock or side wind. I expected these side effects so it wasn't a big deal to me but I'm putting front lower control arms on next week to try to the the steering/caster back to a better place.

Rock Krawler is an excellent lift and the Stock Mod will work fine with the Teraflex BB components.

The 5100's are an excellent shock. This would be my 1st choice if I were doing the lift you are.

Sorry I missed this. I don't have any problem with sagging. I have the Rugged Ridge XHD Modular Front Bumper and a Smittybilt XRC-8 Comp winch. If you are going to do a winch I would highly recommend getting a winch with the synthetic rope because it saves about 100lbs with 100ft of line.

I don't want to side track this thread so PM me if you want to talk more about winches and bumpers.
