Default My new Daystar 1" BL and Teraflex 2.5" BB

First pic is right after buying; 2nd is after the BL; 3rd and 4th are with BL and Teraflex 2.5 BB. I love how she rides and looks. I know the wheels look small in proportion. Next stop - 17x8's with 35x12.50.17. Really starting to look good. I hope they upload okay.

I know some people knock BLs but I think they are the perfect compliment to a BB. I ran a 1" BL and 2.5" BB with 35s for a few years and it was cheap and worked really well. Your jeep looks good!

looks awesome, I'm thinking of going this route also but with a 2" BB & 1" BL so I don't have to mess with exhaust stuff, how's the ride stiff or like factory ? ( I know it's not a cadillac) just curious

The only difference is the fact that it's just a little more tippy. I really like the look and the ride. The Teraflex shocks are a bit heavier duty than the OEM's, so maybe just a little stiffer, but I think they are a much better shock than what Chrysler had on there before. My only issue was putting the Daystar lift on due to the oversized washers that Chrysler places on the rear mounts only. They rub on the isolator nuts which makes an awful squeal. But once I figured it out, no more squeal. That probably had more to do with my inexperience with lifts ( my first) than anything else. But considering I still have wheels and tires to buy, I think this is a great start for a newbie like myself. I would recommend the Teraflex BB to anyone with a modest budget. As far as Daystar is concerned, I found their customer service to be very responsive, despite the fact that the issue with the BL really wasn't directly related to their product.

the tippy ness you speak of might be wheels & tires, once you get wheels that make it wider you should be ok I would think, still looks awesome though
