Default Levening kit check up

For teraflex leveling kit owners ... How are the kits holding up over long period of use? Any sagging or change in ride? Thanks

No the spacer kit. I'm wondering if they wear out over time or if anyone has any problems over time. I just wanna remove the rake and I have been wanting to do this kit for awhile. I want a long term solution, I don't want to go and replace these till I'm ready to put a proper lift on. Which at the rate I'm going could be a long time. For now it's my daily driver and I don't want to go above 33 tire. So I wanna just add a little up front for a not so stuffed look.

I think my rear sags about 1/2 an inch. But could be just the Gobi rack.

Ive run 2 sets of spacers. First was a 2' lift and the second set was 3/4'. Both will flatten out a little but its very minimal.

Coming up to one year and 33,000KM installed on my 08 JKU with 16 / 58 springs. TF puck level kit as per OP.
I'm pretty picky, and honestly, I can't see any change in the 'level', lift, or ride quality. Excellent product, very happy, the product did what it said...smack dab level.

I did take reference measurements the day it was installed, a little warmer weather and I can re-check.

Mine never wore out, these are extremely stiff pieces of polyurethane/rubber. Maybe it settled 1/16 of an inch. Your stock springs will sag before you have any problem with these TeraFlex pucks. Your factory spring isolators will "give" more than these will over time.
