On my 2015 Two Door Wrangler Oscar Mike Edition, I have this kit installed. The stock shocks are still present.
Yes, this is graded as a one. Teraflex's lift is 5". A 2" front coil spacer set, a 1" rear coil spacer set, new front sway bar end links, and hardware are all included. The average lift from the front to the back will be 1. 5". Up to a 33" tall tire can be accommodated by this kit.
Amazon isn't interested in parts or automobiles. It's a female, in case you were wondering. It isn't likely to be aware of:
It has little to no effect on the quality of the ride. Your stock shocks are also in good working order.
Selected User Reviews For TeraFlex 1155200 JK Leveling Kit
The best $150 I've ever spent on my Jeep JKU, along with a lot of sweat and learning ) I'm not sure why it took me so long to do this. Fear of doing something so major on a vehicle for the first time (I know, I know. Not much, but for a newbie, it was a fun new experience). Because I went with 33's instead of 35's, I didn't want too much of a lift. Because my Jeep has three, I'm wearing 35s. The gearing is 21:1, which isn't ideal for 35s. The leveling lift was an excellent compromise (though I don't consider it a compromise now that I've used it on the jeep). It's precisely what I was looking for. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. The kit is simple to set up. Make sure you have the appropriate sockets as well as a torque wrench. After you've installed your system, I HIGHLY recommend getting it aligned. My jeep now rides smoother than it has in the past and looks fantastic. The before and after photos are attached. Prior to that, there was nothing. After that comes the bottom. It's not overpowering, but it's noticeable. It gives the jeep a whole new look. Without a doubt, the best $150 I'll ever spend on my Jeep.
The instructions could be better, but if you know how to work on cars, they're not bad. I strongly advise you to watch the installation video on You-Tube. Tube. br>With basic tools, you can install the lift in about 3 hours. Wrenches, ratchets, and sockets are the only tools you'll need. I used a floor jack and three-ton jack stands to do it in my garage. The front drive shaft should be disconnected, according to the instructions and video. I did not take this step because I thought it was unnecessary. The only issue I had was getting the driver's side front spring back on because it was on the short side of the axle. To fix this, I used a bottle jack on the passenger side to jack up the axle, using the floor jack as the fulcrum point, allowing the driver side to drop down and the spring to be re-tensioned. the installation I had no issues with the back. For ease of installation, the video recommends using grease on the spacers, but I simply used a light tap with a BFH and they popped right on. br>The ride is noticeably stiffer, which is to be expected, but the ride quality is unchanged when using "STOCK" tires. Keep in mind that using aggressive mud tires will degrade your ride. br>The front is level, and the lift adds a nice touch. I am extremely pleased with this product and would strongly suggest it. br>Edit: The track bar is one thing I neglected to mention. After installing the track bar, it did not line up, so I used a ratchet strap from the axle to the frame to "ratchet" it into place. It was just a quick 5-minute extra step. I was hesitant to drive it forward to align it. That's what I did, and I hope this information is useful to you.

This kit will lift your JK as much as possible without requiring any additional costly hardware. The front-end lift was more than 2. I put 5" on my two-door and it looks a lot better. br>Installation is simple, but I wish someone had told me to remove both front wheels at the same time and then reinstall them. It's easier to work with the sway bar links if both ends are disconnected at the same time when installing and removing both back wheels. I wedged a piece of 2x4 between the axle and the puck on the back pucks and jacked up the axle to "push" the puck home into its hole (you could hear a pop). Use jack stands on both sides, under the frame as close to the removed wheels as possible, and a floor jack under the axle to raise and lower it as needed. Investing in an 18 and 19mm ratcheting wrench for this job might be a good idea. br>The Jeep follows the same route, with the exception of a slightly higher entry and exit step!.
It's a small lift, but it significantly improves the appearance of your stock Jeep while also providing you with about 1. 5"- Ground clearance has been increased by 2 inches. If you want to upgrade your tires, you can now run 33s. I looked up how to install these on the internet and decided it wasn't worth the trouble, frustration, risk, or time. I then requested quotes from a few 4x4 shops in Denver, CO to see how much they would charge me to install. I received at least five quotes, ranging from $200 to $700. I chose the $200 quote, and it was installed in under two hours by two technicians.
If you need a little extra clearance for 33s or just want to get rid of your factory front end rake, this kit is for you. This kit can be installed in your driveway in about 2 hours for the technically savvy; I was fortunate enough to have a shop lift. Teraflex has a great video on YouTube, and the kit also comes with written instructions that should be read two or three times before installation if this is your first time. br>br>I'd recommend a 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet (long handle) and socket set (or long end wrenches if that's all you have), a floor jack and two jack stands, and a torque wrench for installation. Suspension components are important for safety, so reassemble it according to the factory's specifications. I'd also recommend removing the rear brake line bracket during the installation to alleviate any stress caused by the spring with spacer. With stock springs, you won't need a spring compressor if you do it this way. Last but not least, loosen all control bolts and shift the vehicle's weight forward, backwards, and side to side while on the ground; then resource to factory torque specs. This frees up the control arm bushings and places them in the natural riding position at ride height.
Order was received, but there was no desire to install it. I decided to put my money towards Mopar 2. I got a 5 inch lift, and it was a lot of fun. After spending $2500, the Jeep now looks and rides better than it did when it was new. New springs with all the bells and whistles, as well as Fox shocks. I even kept the wooden crate that came with the Mopar lift for storing parts. If you don't want to spend $2500 on a lift like I did, the Teraflex lift is a great alternative. On this jeep, I've made no compromises when it comes to upgrades. The Teraflex spring lift appears to be of good quality, and the price is reasonable; however, for warranty reasons, I chose the Mopar lift.
