Default My teraflex 3" lift!

My amazing girlfriend got me a teraflex lift and bilstein shocks for Christmas this year! I just Installed it and cannot believe how much better the ride is! With measuring the top of both bumpers, it gained 4" in the rear and 6" in the front. First picture is a before and the second is an after (sorry it finally snowed in chicago today so do mind the drastic weather change haha)

Looks amazing and the snow makes the pictures even better against your black paint.

Looks great. Did you have to add a drag link flip kit with that much lift?

I didn't it's just a 3" coil kit with shocks, front lower and rear upper control arms and an adjustable track bar. I'm still new to the jeep suspension, what does the flip kit resolve? Thanks.

Looks great! The #1600440 flip draglink kit helps with any bump steer that you might have.

I know after driving it a while the lift will settle a bit, but 6" of lift from a 3" coil lift seems like a lot? Wouldn't that shred the driveshaft boot too?
