Hello,

I have an Overland model, put on the Rubicon take off wheels.

Next upgrade is the Tera Flex Falcon 3.3 Shocks. The question is, do I need to do any alignment adjustments if I install these shocks ? Do I need to change the stock springs too ?

If I don't need a lift I likely won't, but is there a benefit to getting a 2" lift with the Falcons ?

I couldn't find a complete kit, which included lift, springs and Falcon shocks.

I don't do rock crawling. At most , maybe some washed out roads with rocks, and mainly pothole covered washboard forest service roads.

Thanks!

You will want to know the extended and compressed lengths of the Teraflex shocks. It is possible that you will require extended bump stops so you don't crush the shocks when compressed. If you search around this area you will find the length of the stock shocks so you can make a comparison to the Teraflex. Also Teraflex should be able to answer the bump stop question.

Might as well put the Teraflex 1.5 inch front spacer(s) in there, along with a Daystar 3/4 inch rear spacer for a bit more clearance, you will be glad you did. The cost is pretty low to add these little parts.

No alignment or any other adjustments required with any of this.

What do the spacers do ? Is it like a poor man's lift ? Any concerns with spacers as a lift when going off road ?

I wouldn't have any more concerns with spacers than i would stock. Your shocks are going to limit your "down travel" to prevent anything from coming loose.

Check out jk gear and gadgets channel on YouTube, they add spacers, falcons and run 37’s like that.. they provide some info that will help you get a good picture of this setup and how it performs. There are no issues with small spacers on jeeps. I added the 3/4 inch to the rear of my JKS lift to ensure i had a little bit of rake.
