Anyone have pictures of their 1.5" Spacer Lift in the front ONLY?

[jrb517]

I'm interested in adding a spacer lift to the front of my Sprt S to level it out. Probably the Teraflex 1.5" kit on Amazon. Do you guys have any pictures of your sport with the 1.5" in the front or just the 1" puck, without a spacer in the rear?

1.5” TeraFlex in the front. Nothing in the rear. Here is a better picture

Looks great! Do you happen to have any measurements from tire/ground to fender? Did you install them yourself?

THis is not a spacer leveling kit (Rancho LEvel it kit) but it's 1.5" nothing in the back:

And before the leveling kit:

Same Rancho leveling kit on mine. Nothing in the back. First pic is with stock tires. The last 3 are with 315/70/17 BFG KO2s takeoffs from a Raptor.

Approx. 39” from to fender and 5” from tire to fender.

Thanks, I'm assuming its even for front/rear hence the name "leveling kit"?

Yes I just looked and it’s very close if not the same front and rear. The kit is so stupidly easy to put on anyone should be able to do at home with a jack and some jack stands. I forgot to answer that part of the question for you.

Awesome. I'm doing it in my garage for sure, did you run into the issue where your axle shifted toward the passenger side and the sway link wouldn't line up? I saw a guy on YouTube that had to use a ratchet strap to get it to align properly. Also did you need an alignment after? Sorry for all of the questions, thanks again!

Running a 1" Teraflex spacer in front, nothing in back with Rubicon takeoff springs/shocks front and back. Fender measurements for the front.

Edit: looking to put a 3/4" Daystar kit in back and add the 1/2" second spacer on the front for future 35's. The axle can shift, but nothing a floor jack can't help with, jacking up to get the track bar back in line.

Looking good. I'm assuming the rubi springs gave you a little lift as well? Is that why you only needed the 1" puck to level it out? Or did you want to keep a little rake?

A little lift, maybe 1/2 to 1". I wanted to keep a little rake, so originally did the 1", but plan to do a 3/4 Daystar in back and then add the 1/2 second spacer in front to keep the rake. 35's will be in the future sometime.

Also, you don't need an alignment, but your steering wheel will be sightly turned after the install. You can adjust the steering drag link, but it's reverse threads, so don't turn it the wrong way like I did the first time. About 1/4 turn is all that's needed to center the steering wheel. Also, definitely use wheel chocks/blocks, and sturdy jack stands, and put it in 4wd when you're doing the back end and be on a level surface. It's actually an easy install, minus the Teraflex bump stop which is a pain to install unless you have a right angle power wrench to speed it up. Also, the little nubs on the spacer need to line up with the factory rubber isolator, which can be a little finicky.

Nope it all went back together easily for me. Maybe I got luck for once. LOL

Did the Teraflex leveling kit in my driveway, took me a couple hours by myself and easily distracted by a runaway neighbor dog...

On 32’s vs on 35’s below...
