Looks like we have some folks with a teraflex 2.5" lift here and would like to ask that you post up your thoughts on the lift kit.

I am considering the TF 2.5" lift spring kit
Those that have experience with this spring lift kit please let me know some thoughts on this kit.

Drivability on road (highway and city)
Drivability off road

Did you have to add anything else that wasn't included in the kit to improve drivability? Thanks in advance!

Meant to add planning on running 35's

 

I love my TF 2.5 coil lift. I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference in ride comfort on or off road versus factory suspension. I did end up putting Bilstein 5100 shocks on after a year or so. Made the ride much smoother.

 

I also enjoy my TF 2.5. I only added front TB to recenter the axle. I started with shock adapters and moved to Fox 2.0. Rides nice and I don't see myself changing unless I come into some $$$ to waste. I have a 2 door so please note....no idea on 4 door.

 

Kit is great. I also added a front track bar to recenter the axle and put on a set of front adjustable control arms to help fine tune my caster. It was a little flighty as they say before the control arms but you could definitely get by without them. I have the bilstein 5100's as well, they are okay but if I were to do it again I would opt for the Rancho 9000's.

 

I'm satisfied with my kit both on and off road. For on road there's more body roll as expected with a lifted box. Make sure you get the kit with the axle side rear track bar bracket to raise your roll center, earlier kits came with a frame side bracket to cut costs and doesn't help with off camber situations. Many have seen sagging issues but I haven't seen any and I have about 250-300lbs on the rear and probably 100lbs on the front. I've settled around 3inches with all that weight. For off road it gave enough lift to clear my tires along with a good amount of trimming. I'm running 37s so you'll be fine with 35s just be aware of how close the pinch seam is to the rear tire, I would trim just to be safe. It's a good starter lift that allows you to build just as any lift. I added an adjustable front track bar to center my axle after the lift and I'm still running stock arms. After I get my use outta the coils I'll switch over to snyergy cause I could use the longer free length since these come unseated with my long travel old my emu shocks. Hope this helps..good luck with the build.

 

Familiar with confirmation bias? Also, what would you expect people who own the kit to say? Do they have experience with other kits?

 

Hey, maybe they do. Lots of us own more than one jeep or have owned more than one jeep. I have an afe scorpion exhaust, and I DON'T recommend it. He's asking people who have experience with the lift what they think about it. If you don't have anything to add to the subject, please don't say anything at all.

As for the OP: I have the lift with the Teraflex shocks and springs, and I feel its a little of a stiffer ride than stock. One thing you may have to get is exhaust spacers if you have the 3.6L engine. I have them. Some people say you can get by with out them with a 2.5" lift. But I feel its added insurance against something terrible that can happen. Id recommend the exhaust spacers for any lift. Just for the added clearance.
And you may want either longer front brake lines, or just take them out of the bracket altogether. The bracket is on the shock perch.

I had a Teraflex bb and the Teraflex spring/shock lift. The bb had the frame bracket for the rear sway bar...drove fine.
the new lift on my new jeep has the bracket on the axle for the sway bar. Drives fine. I don't have either a new sway bar or a bracket for the front. Drives fine.

 

I got the teraflex 2.5 kit in April 2013 for my 2013 JKU (3.6). I am running it with duratrac 315/70/17s on 17x8.5 wheels with 4.5 bs.

I have nothing bad to say about this kit, and some dealers in the area have switched to using the kit to overcharge/upsell on their jks.
I would probably get this kit again if I was doing a basic coil lift.

The ride feels good but is difficult to describe: it feels more like a truck, and possibly a little stiffer, but that doesn't seem like a bad thing based on my stock ride which felt too loose for the vehicle especially in wind. I have a softtop, a lightweight steel front bumper with a winch. and aluminum rear bumper so I am not loaded with the expected heavyweight bumpers, etc. I drive highway a lot and use the jku for half day trips (6 hours).

Note I have the teraflex tuned fox shocks with reservoirs, the resis were totally not necessary for my usage but got a decent deal and like the look: I would probably not bother: get the Teraflex or fox 2.0s and spend the extra money elsewhere.

Mine ended up getting:
front track bar (Teraflex) - recommend this to get front axle correct
front lower control arms (Teraflex) -ditto
Exhaust spacer - possibly didn't need this, it looked way to close and I am a wimp so added it: note may not need if using aftermarket front drive shaft.
brake lines - ( it looked close without)

Teraflex 1/2 spacer in the back - for spring retention these have a extra cone that goes inside the spring (that was fun to find out I needed: spring unseated on the passenger side )
rear axle breather hose extension - my axle drop in the back isn't restricted, which is why I got the spacerand pulled the old hose out.

 

You got pics of your set up?

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys!
