Should I get coil wedges for 2.5" lift?
Here is the deal. I have a 2012, 2 door. My lift is getting ready to go on and I am wondering if I should be prepared to have bowed rear springs?
Here is what I have:
TF 2.5" coil lift, front and rear adjustable track bars, adjustable front lower and rear upper control arms (TF short ones).
I already have exhaust spacers installed and plan to run the stock front and rear driveshafts until they crap out.
Should I order wedges now before the install, and will I more likely than not need them?
Thanks in advance

[QUOTE=EzK;3508312]You only need to tilt the rear axle if you get a double cardan driveshaft. You'll be good without the coil wedges.
So just to make sure I understand; there should be no need for wedges if using adjustable rear UCAs and OE driveshafts?

[QUOTE=Jumpmaster;3508516]You will not need wedges if using stock control arms or adjustable control arms. Your upper control arms will be adjusted to you stock length anyway.
I have the same set up. I was having problems with the rear track bar hitting the coils. Shortened the rear upper CA to reduce the bow. Still have a problem if there's a load in the rear, increased bow on the coils
I bought a TF flex monster TB for the front and rear. Isnt the TF TB bent slightly different to minimize contact with the spring?




I used the wedges only because the TF springs being wide would contact my bracket. I've since switched to RK coils but still use them. The axle gets twisted back lifting. Worse correcting pinion angle.
