Teraflex 1.5 Leveling Kit Questions

[MudderNuker]

You will always regret being cheap on suspension components, at least in my experience. The Teraflex 1.5" gives you a nice level with very little rake (Almost none on a JTRD). You also should not be using geo correction brackets until you're over a 3" lift, unless it's a pavement princess then you're fine.

Below is a picture of a JTRD on 37s with a Teraflex 1.5" Leveling Kit. You don't need an adjustable trackbar with this type of setup. Though you'll eventually wind up replacing the front steering anyways with larger tires, the factory stuff isn't a fan of it long term.

The Teraflex 1.5" on a Rubicon can fit 37s if staying on the road, and 35s very comfortably.

Same color as my JTR. I fancy 37"s but the responsible part of me say 35" tops. I had a money set aside for lift, fifteen52 Metrix HD and 35" but today my wife made me use that money to redo our deck in redwood, trex and put a roof over it. So there goes that. The Geo brackets from JKS are for lifts 2" and higher. I'll gage the need later. When I did the 1.5 TF on the Willys the axle shifted to the left. I correct it with the adjustable track bar.

I may wait until I can do a full lift and skip the spacers.

I don't think owning a Jeep is responsible at all haha, it's an addiction! Interesting on the axle shift, didn't notice that at all with the leveling kit.

I'm a little anal ?. It moved about one inch. In my mind it was catastrophic. ?

Did you regear for the 37"? I did 4.88s on my YJ a few years back and it helped a lot with 33". I lived at around 3,600' in elevation at that time. After moving here at 7,300' if felt gutless I downsized to 31s and it woke up.

I did not personally. I have factory 4.10s with the Diesel and I noticed no difference going from 33s to 37s. I still intend on regearing, but it's low on my list since the Diesel hauls nicely. I'm building out this Gladiator to do the Pan American Highway, so once I start loading it up with weight I will move it higher up the list as I'm sure I'll notice it a bit more then. I also live at pretty much sea level with no mountains around me, so that's not really a concern currently.

The 37s are just for fun, for now, I intend on dropping down to 35s once I leave for the Pan American.

Nice. Sounds like a nice trip.

I need your guys help I just bought my first ever Jeep Gladiator it’s a 2024 Mojave in anvil color grate color now I want to get the Teraflex 1.5 and I am thinking about sky jacket 1 inch rear spring spacer level or a 3/4 inch daystar. Now I will be doing a ster smart sector shaft bracket and the Mopar lCA and I am just wondering if anyone had done this and if so can you please tell me what your experience was and how it preformed I am new to the jeep world and I would appreciate any info on this thanks and I will also be doing a wheel alignment I have already put micky tomson Baja skinny 35’s tires on it

and I will also be doing a wheel alignment

No need.
There's really nothing other than toe to set, and center the steering wheel if toe is changed.
They can't adjust caster or camber.

Now I will be doing a ster smart sector shaft bracket

Are you going to do some decent off-roading? If not, there's really no use for a sector shaft brace.
They are a "makes me fell good" thing, but unless you plan on heavy/hard use, that's about all it really is.

I have 21 jtr with steal front bumper no winch and went with the 1" Teraflex front, 3/4" day star rear, mopar front LCAs, Eibach pro truck shocks and Fox stabilizer. 35x11.5 Maxxis ATs. She drives great, and have never felt the need for the sector shaft bracket.

Yeah it’s one of those Makes me feel good thing boss but what is this toe thing I keep reading about and if I change the LCA stock to the upgraded mopar ones will it actually affect it?
