Specific level kit questions.

[bertio]

Hi all!

I have an Overland with Rubicon shocks and springs.

Running stock Rubicon wheel and tires 33 Falken AT's . No plan to go bigger.

Hoping someone with more knowledge can chime in and tell my why the teraflex leveling kit does not have shock relocation brackets but has bump stop extensions (are the extensions needed?)

....and the Daystar kit has the relocation brackets but no bump stop extensions.

From my research bump stop extensions are only needed with a bigger tire to keep from bottoming out on the fender or to keep the shock from bottoming out during compression. Since I am running the stock Rubicon wheels/tires and shocks this shouldn't be an issue?

It seems like they are 2 kits that do the same thing (provide 1.5 inches of height) but do it two different ways. Which one is the right one for my suspension and wheels/tires?

Call me biased...but the kit im selling on the market place is the alloy usa 1.5in front and daystar 3/4in rear spacers..they would be a perfect fit for you!and cheaper than anything youll find

Shameless advert aside...


personally I preferred a kit with the shock extensions just to feel like it still had the oem travel for the shock. By no mean am i an expert but it made sense to me.

I didn't think about the travel as well. I wonder if the Rubicon shocks are dynamically valved. If they are then extensions would make sense to keep them in their operating window.

Did you 1.5 in the front level but you wanted to add rake so you added the 3/4 in the rear?

yep. As far as I was concerned it appeared perfectly level, but it did not appear nose high with a bed full of mulch bags..unlike lifts that just lift the front.

1.5 / 0.75 lift combo with 285/70/17 tires on rubi rims.
