Just got done installing the Teraflex 1" spacers to get rid of some of the rake. I'm happy with the results and I am done with the suspension.

Nice I have the same setup, but with Bilstein 5100s and the Mopar LCAs. And since I do leverage my bed, I also have .75" rear spacers.

I highly recommend the Mopar LCAs, they were something like $120 and super easy to install.

Also I'd recommend longer front sway bar links. I purchased rear links and put them on the front.

I went with the 1" over the full 1.5" to keep a little rake. Hopefully when loaded up that with the max tow rear springs will keep it from squatting as much.

So what would be the need for changing the LCAs and sway bar links?? I don't do any serious off-roading. Just the beach and light trails.

LCAs add caster, which helps steering and overall stability.

Sway bar links, because you just added 2 to 2.5" of height and your links are a bit short. It's not for offroading it's for geometry.

Check the angle of your sway bar, it should be parallel to the gront or even pointed to the sky a bit.

I only added less than 1 3/4" of height. Do you think it's still necessary?

I'd just take a look at the angle of your sway bar. If the ends are pointed down then yes.

That isn't your sway bar.

See the circular hole in my frame? The bar with the vertical white line is the sway bar.
Shoot I didn't notice I uploaded the wrong pic.

You're good. I used stock links with the whole Teraflex 1.5" lift. I didn't need to change the anti-sway bar links until I went up further.

Looks level. Any higher and I'd recommend longer links, so you are good!

Thanks for being the guinea pig.
