Default 2.5 Teraflex lift add spacers

Hi All!

I have a teraflex 2.5 suspension fit running 35" on AEV wheels. this daily driver is going to go to a weekend warrior. Is it possible to add 2" spacers to this lift to get more hwight, or would it be best to start over with new springs? Lower control arms and adjustable trackbars are also going on either way. Any thoughts?

Are you planning on moving up to 37s? I wouldn't lift it any more than necessary to accommodate your desired tire, and if 35s are where you're staying there is not going to be much added benefit to going higher. In fact, you're going to make everything worse and fight harder battles doing so. Higher does not equate to more capable.

You can throw a spacer on top of current springs, if you wanted to net almost 4.5" of lift. You'd have to replace shocks for the travel, and lower control arms ain't gonna be enough to correct caster at that height. Anything 3.5"+ you're really looking at a full set of arms, front and rear, IMO.

Have you measured your current lift height ? Most coil spring lifts will add more height than advertised. You might expect a 2.5" lift will be 3" front and 2" rear. I went with the newer RK 2.5 coils as of Dec 2023 and my front is 4", rear at 3", and i'm not stock.
You can measure your front for example from the shock the top of the shock tower to the lower shock bolt eyelet.
