Well since the weather is getting warmer now here in southern Ontario, I would like to install my B.B kit with shock extensions and the longer sway bar for the (kit came with these. Basically I have 2 questions on my Sahara I'm still using the stock 18" wheels and tires, will I have any issue with this kit rubbing the tires? Also I put the rear stock sway bars to the front correct??

 

Yes you put the rear stock links in the front, and put the new Teraflex links on the rear. Just be sure to mount the rear links on the INSIDE of the swaybar. Not on the outside like the stock ones were.

You will have no rubbing issues after installing the lift.

 

Correct, the stock rear links move to the front and you get new rear links in the kit. With the new (longer) rear sway bar links your rear tire WILL rub the sway bar at full flex. This will not be a problem if you
a) dont off-road and don't flex the suspension
b) install wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with less backspacing.

Hope this helps.

 

Also - I know TeraFlex was working on a FAQ that they were going to post on this forum as well as their web site. This question seems like a good candidate for the FAQ since there are many threads on this very topic.

Also make sure to install the links on both ends on the inside. I've made strong suggestions here to have larger, better images on our 2.5" kits instructions.

 

Quick Question on this....I just installed these a week or so ago...doing just as you mentioned...both top and bottom of sway bar links are on the inside, but there looks like there could be a problem:

The longer bolt that held the stock sway bar links in place is too large to fit by the bottom of the rear shocks, so I installed it as the top bolt. The bolt is much longer than the one that came w/ the kit for the opposite side (bottom as I installed), and it appears that at any flex whatsoever, it will hit the frame. If I turned the bolt w/ the head facing the body and the nut facing the tire, then the bolt would hit the rim.

any suggestions....other than going out and buying new bolts

also....I plan on putting the links on the outside when I get new wheels w/ smaller backspacing (on order)...will I see rubbing at full flex if I do this

 

Did you take the shock off before you tried to get the bolt on in the first place?

I had the same problem, but I pulled the shock off again and made it work. It was a little tough, but it seems fine now.

 

I also will be installing this kit next week-end, and am wondering about front sag once bumper and winch install, can I keep factory spring spacers and tf bb spacers??

I have read a lot about 3 and 4 inch suspension lifts, but after measuring my indoor garage, realised that only bb will fit, so I bought il on monday, but have not yet read the install procedures or posts about it here!

Thanks

heres my dads 2.5" kit with a pure jeep stubby bumper.

The kit has a little bit of rake to it, but it's not bad. I've heard of people adding 3/4" spacers up front.

 

That picture has what size tires with that 2.5" TF BB?

Stock wheels with 33's?
