I currently have the teraflex 1.5" leveling kit but I'm considering upgrading to the TF 2.5" springs & 1" rear pucks when I put on some bigger tires. My question is, if I do this, I'd look to upgrade my front shocks to Fox 2.0's, but would I need to upgrade my rear rubicon shocks as well? I'm not the biggest believer in mixing and matching but curious as to how big a difference there is between Fox 2.0's and Fox rubicon shocks.

Hope everyone is well! Happy new Year!

There's not much difference in how the Rubicon Fox shocks and the Fox 2.0 shocks perform/feel. I upgraded my front shocks to Fox 2.0 when I added Synergy front springs, and kept my rear Rubicon shocks with the 1.5" rear spacers and shocks extensions I was using for a while until I got the matching rear 2.0s. Proper shock length for your setup is as important as anything.

I appreciate that! That feedback Renegade! Any feedback on the Synergy springs? Did you do the 2" synergy spring lift or the 3"? I was looking at those as well since I was considering the Synergy Track Bar

The Synergy springs are VERY soft. I put on their 2” front springs, but didn’t get a full 2” of lift from them, so I installed a Teraflex 1” spacer (I’m using a 2” bump stop spacer). If I had to do over, I would definitely do 3” or 4” front springs, with rear springs which are 1” shorter than the front for leveling.
