Teraflex 2.5" Spring Lift on Black Sahara
I installed this kit last weeknd on my Fiance's Jeep. It took about 6-7hrs with some help from a buddy. Very pleased with the quality and ride characteristics.
As I've read elswhere, the passenger side front spring is a PITA to get in but I used the factory jack as a spreader between the axle and frame. Also, I did not receive the 1/2" spacer for the rear that was noted on my parts list and in the instructions. Anyone else with this kit not get the spacer? I orderd from Northridge so I don't know if I should contact David or Teraflex. All in all though great kit and very easy (for me) to install.

I take it you stuck with the stock shocks? and you are still impressed with the ride. From what I've read, if you were to go with the TF 9500(?) shocks as well, you would even be more impressed.
oh....btw.the fiance looks happy........that's a good thing.......lol

My kit from Northridge came without the rear spacers too. But I noticed it before I tore my JK apart, so I called Joe at Treaflex and he immediately sent them out with no charge. Your fiance's JK looks good without them. But if it will be flexed I would want them in to keep the spring in place.

Definitely get them. The coils will settle and the back might end up a little lower than the front. Also be sure to put the rear isolator on with the TF spacer
