I used the teraflex ones with my stock ones.  Joe with Teraflex told me to use both of them together but I don't remember them in the instructions.

Also waiting to hear what will come of the zerk fitting oddity with the control arms, but overall they are pieces of art.

In any case, my kit included these rear coil spacers, which I did not install because they aren't referenced in the instructions. Should I? I re-used the factory rubber pieces at the top of the rear coils and had moved to the front before I realized I had these.

Thoughts?

Attachment 16250''

EDIT: Actually, in looking at these again, the ones in the picture appear thicker than the ones I received.
Actually, they are on the instructions...I put a clip from the instructions for the rear install below, check it out. Hope this helps.

Interesting. That step isn't shown in the directions that came with my 2.5" coil lift. After looking at the TeraFlex web site it appears that the spacers I have are 1/2" and would be included in the 3" system. They aren't shown in the photo of the 2.5" coil kit.

If someone from TeraFlex can jump in and clarify that would be great.

I have those spacers with my 2.5" coil lift as well. I haven't installed the lift yet, so I am no help.

Just noticed...those instructions are for a 2.5 Budget Boost not a coil lift...I don't know if that makes a difference in application?? Mr. Teraflex, can you please chime in??

Looks to me like you accidentally got some coil spacers in your kit. I don't believe they should come wit the coil kit unless you specifically ordered them. The one pictured looks like a 1" rear spacer...maybe you got a 1/2" spacer in your kit? Either way...seems like a packaging mistake to me.

The ones I received definitely look like 1/2".

Like I said above they came with my 2.5" coil lift and Joe with Teraflex told me if I did not use them the rear would be 1/2" lower than the front. So I take that to mean they are supposed to come with the kit.

Thanks. Did he mention why they aren't even referenced in the instructions?
