Hell yeah! That sits perfect!

2.5 readylift from @Markpod7

The good news:
RC 2.5" front/ Daystar .75" rear is still doing great. No clunks or problems. 37" tires. JT is now at 9,000 miles.
The bad news:
Picture was taken at work and not on a forest trail. ?

It is a Teraflex 2 1/2" performance spacer lift for a 4 door JL, to which I added a Teraflex adjustable forged front track bar, and Teraflex Sport (fixed length) lower control arms. The performance spacer lift includes 2 1/2" front spring spacers, bump stop spacers, and shock extension brackets, and 1 1/2" rear spring spacers, bump stop spacers, and shock extension brackets. The kit also includes extended sway bar links for front and rear. I did not need the front sway bar links because I already had JKS sway bar quick disconnects. The Jeep drives better on road than it did when it was stock, with noticeably less wander when driving down the highway. I think the Teraflex Sport lower control arms must increase caster more than the lift decreases caster, so I have more caster now than I did stock. I had a front end alignment, but since caster and camber are fixed, all they did was set the toe setting and center the steering wheel, so I don't know what the exact caster angle is. Another possible explanation is that the Toyo Open Country MT tires just track straighter than the stock Falcon Wild Peak MT tires did. In any case, I really enjoy driving this Jeep. It drives better than any lifted Jeep I've ever owned.

Question for you. I'm about to buy the 2.5" TF Spacer Kit but the kit as advertised on TF's website doesn't show that it includes 1.5" rear spacers nor does it mention it includes shock extension brackets. Could you confirm yours included these or that your kit is indeed the 2.5? Thanks!

Okay just realized you mentioned it was for a JL so that's likely the difference.

I called them and told them I wanted the shock extension brackets and 1.5" rear spring spacers, so that is what they sent. I would suggest you call them to be sure you get what you want.

Thanks for that! TF seems very easy to work with so that's a great suggestion that I'll take! Thanks again.

Another question for you regarding this. With raising your rear by 1.5", instead of by the 0.5 that comes with their kit, did you also install a rear adjustable track bar? In other words, did raising the rear 1.5" cause your rear axle to shift to one side?

I ask because I had previously installed the 1.5" TF leveling kit on my other JT Sport S and that small amount of lift shifted my front axle over by about 0.5 inches. It was corrected only after installing an adjustable front track bar.

Thanks again!

The rear axle still looks centered to me. I've never got out a tape measure to check, but I can't see any difference looking at it.

Teraflex 2 1/2" front spacers and 1 1/2" rear spacers. Also used matching height bump stop spacers and shock extension brackets. Then to complete the lift I used a Teraflex adjustable front track bar and Teraflex Sport front lower control arms.

What shock extension brackets did you use if you don’t mind me asking

 

[MoparToYou]

They came from Teraflex

 

[Mr.Gladiator]

Rubicon springs (so still sort of stock) with a 1.5” Teraflex spacer and 33s. .75” planned for the back.

Hey are you adding the .75 spacer in the rear to make it more level? Could you post a picture from the side to get that side profile. Thank you and nice looking sport!

Hey everyone awesome looking jeeps! I do have a question in regards to a level vehicle. I have a Sport S with rubi takeoffs. So far I’ve purchased a 1.5” teraflex leveling kit. Do I need a daynastar .75” for the rear? I’ve seen so many combinations on this thread. Does anyone have advice to remove the front rake?

The .75 rears would help decrease the front rake. Honestly I don’t think you should get rid of it all. As soon as you add anything to the bed your doing the pooping dog squat. Honestly, even when just driving ive seen “level” Jts doing the squats with normal driving. Just looks awful IMO. A little rake is fine.

rubi take off front/rears + 1.5in front + .75 rear will look awesome! And still be useful
