Default Leveling Kit?

I have the 2.5" Teraflex Budget Boost. Does anyone know where I can get a leveling kit to level out the front end?

Will the 1/2" or 3/4" spacers level the front. I've seen old posts & other members signatures using the 3/4" spacers to level the front of their JKs. Not sure if they went that route because of maybe using after market bumpers with winches. Does any one know which size spacers is best to use for leveling? Thanks...

Last Sunday, I installed Rubi shocks/coils and a TF BB 2.5 lift with a daystar .75 up front on my Unlimited X. The 3/4" spacer made it pretty level, and I have a stock bumper-no winch. I think a 1/2" would have been too small and a 1" would be too big. I am happy with the results.

Default Kit

I have been trying to figure out how to level my rig. I have a 07 Unlimited Sahara with a 2.5" Teraflex lift. What are Daystar .75. Is it a bushing? I called Teraflex and asked them how I could level the rig. They said I can’t put a .75 spacer on the rig because it is not safe to put spacers on spacers? He recommend buying 3" Springs and buy a front steering stabilizer. This is all going to run around $500 [coils $200 plus stabilizer $240]which will work but I could just spend a bit more and buy a 3” lift that will be level.

So I am very curious how you leveled your rig. Are the Rubi coils different from the Sahara coils? Sorry for all the questions.

$240 for a stabalizer?
Isn't the stabalizer just a shock and clamp on the tie rod to passenger side hub?
If so I got mine for $60 at the dealer...

Default Trackbar

Sorry... I meant to say
#001753400
JK Wrangler Fr Adjustable Trackbar from Teraflex plus whatever else I needed to add to allow me to go to a 3". That was the quote I received from Teraflex.

I am hoping the daystar are a solution... need to learn more about them.
