just want some advice from anyone who wants to chime in. i have used the search option and have read over numerous threads.

i am purchasing some 33' BFG KM2s in about two months time (yes i know they arent 35s). at this point i have a two door 08 rubicon with heavy steel front and rear bumpers along with 9.5ti winch in front. I am debating on the following three lifts/kits... keeping in mind that i want the 33s to look in proportion to the vehicle and not like rollar skates.

1) teraflex leveling kit (2' front, 1' rear) with 1.5 wheel spacers
2) teraflex BB with shock adaptors with wheel spacers
3) teraflex 2.5 coil lift with shock adaptors with wheel spacers

ive read that with the BB the front sag is not eliminated..does the leveling kit fix the rake ??? or must i go with the coil lift to ensure eveness.

thanks in advance for your responses.

 

.....another option is adding unlimited springs to the leveling kit (option 1)

 

option 3 and a 3/4 spacer up front

 

What bumper my heavy steel bumpers are over 130 lbs each and with my warn XP up front tops off at 220 lbs and 35 in the rear just 200 lbs

Up front using tf BB with an extra 3/4 spacer and sits level now

 

Yup, running the same thing on mine and all is good

 

i have the coil spacers from teraflex and the unlimited coils i think that it sits pretty even, maybe a little higher in the front right now cause i have my stock bumper there are about 1/2 in coil retainers on your coils right now and i kept the ones in the front and removed the rears in attempt to level it out and it has seemed to work for me but i wouldnt run 33's with it for long i have 33's now and there is still space to fill i will order my 35's soon with this setup

granted my 33's are all terrains not mud terrains which might make some of a difference but i think you might should go with option 1 if you arent thinking of upgrading to 35's in the future

 

yup... of the three options listed #3 is what I would go with...well I did go with this option . (2.5" coil kit with 3/4" front coil spacers). See my gallery for pics . If you can't do #3 then go for #1.

Option #2 will not turn out well with a heavy front bumper and winch and you'll end up wanting to bring the front end up

 

i dont plan on running 35s in the future. thats the kit i am leaning towards and allows me to save some cash and spend more on the tires

 

Best options for the bumper is using a 4.0 TJ front spring or the Tera spring lift. The TJ springs are a higher rate, but not taller, and will compensate for the heavier bumpers more than the spacer. If you go with the TJ springs you could do the leveling kit from Tera, and actually be level.

 

Option 3, for sure.
