Default Adding Teraflex Body Lift Kit

I was thinking about adding a Teraflex 1" Body Lift kit onto my Jeep that already has a BDS 2" Spring lift.

Does anyone know if I'll have to add any additional parts? I was thinking that the steering shaft might need an extension, but was unsure.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have seen the video....super easy, that's what made me lean towards the Teraflex kit. I've already got a 2" spring and spacer kit installed, so adding the body lift won't cause me to need anything else?

I did this Teraflex Body Lift last fall on top of my 2" coil lift. My wife was home sick, and the bedroom is above the garage, so I had to do it WITHOUT any power tools...just used a breaker bar and a ratchet. It was a fast and painless process that netted the results that I was after and without any additional parts needed or any problems at all. It was definitely worth the effort and modest cost.

I did the 1-1/4 bL from rough country. I paid more for the bumper relocation brackets and manual shifter bracket. But you have a auto. And bumper kit us just for esthetics.

I recently installed a Rough Country 1.25" body lift on my JKU that has a 2.5" suspension lift. Went with Rough Country because it came with bumper relocation brackets (that required modifying to work on my Hard Rock rear bumper!).

I was pleased with the kit, but definitely a more involved install than the Teraflex since the RC requires you to remove the factory studs from the mounts and replace with longer studs. If I were to do it over again, I'd probably still go with the RC over the Teraflex. The extra work wasn't bad and the kit is a better value in my opinion. And the 1.25" extra height made my Jeep the perfect height for me without compromising the factory ride, etc.
