Is the Teraflex 1.5 lift kit the best of its kind?

[CyberHero]

I just want a small lift and I see Teraflex with I guess a spacer or body lift? It eliminates take which this sounds perfect but do I need to also do other stuff or does it change anything besides lifting it 1.5inches? Driving better worse or will I even notice anything? Is there a better spacer lift?

I have that lift on my 2 door JL for 3 years now. It's simple, gives you a bit of a bump but doesn't impact much else, it would probably be perfect with the longer mopar LCAs

ya do the mopar lca's with it, this will help your highway driving steering feel

You’ll be hard pressed to find best. Not sure anyone’s changed out multiple small lifts to compare them. I have the AEV 2” and am happy with it. I’m sure someone who bought a teraflex or Clayton or mopar is happy with there’s.

Best quality lift for the money is RUSTY's

Lca's and adjustable bar to re-enter the axle.

In my (limited) experience, a 1.5" spacer lift will bump the front up a hair without any real negative side effects, and won't totally remove all rake.

Technically you should probably do more, track bar, upper/lower control arms, but in reality a 1.5" spacer won't really throw anything else off significantly.

I have it, coupled with 3/4” spacers out back. I put a new adjustable track bar in and mopar longer front lcas and I am very pleased.

Had mine installed this spring (22 Willys) to level the Jeep. No issues at all wouldn't know it was there.

Good stuff……

LOL, OP asked about coil spacers.

Coil spacers, long arms = suspension

I have had it on my ‘23 Willys for a year now. I added the Mopar LCAs and the Teraflex 2” shock extensions. Drives and rides like stock and got rid of that annoying rake. Installed it myself, I probably have around $300 total in it. It’s my daily driver but it would probably do fine on moderate trails.

I'm going similar route. I am planning on installing a TF 1.5" leveling kit with an extra 1/2 inch spacer for a total of 2" in the front and 3/4" spacer in the back. I will also install TF shock extenders, longer sway bar link, geo brackets and double adjustable front track bar. I will also have my shop install Air Lift 1000 air bags in the back since they will be working on the rear axle spring spacers. I want the 2" in the front since I will be installing a Mopar metal bumper replica and Warn winch that have been sitting in the garage since last year.

On my pervious JT, I did the TF 1.5 leveling kit and the axle shifted to the side by about 3/4 inch. I corrected it with an adjustable track bar. Didn't use the geo brackets but noticed the steering being a little darty. On the JTR, I will use the geo brackets in order to get good caster numbers and improve steering and handling. I don't think I'll need a rear track bar since the rear will only be lifted by 3/4 inches.

What am I missing?

I was leaning towards a full lift but I don't do any hard core offroad with the truck. For that I have a '92 YJ that can handle that duty. That and the fact that my wife convince me to buy a hot tub and I added a home sauna to the mix. There goes the lift money.
