Default 2.5" Lift Help

Here is my issue: I am currently running the TeraFlex 2.5” budget boost with shocks on my 2DR. I installed a bumper and winch…..you know the rest. It doesn’t look bad now but over time it’s going to sag. I want to swap out the spacers with stronger, bigger springs. The TF 2.5” 4DR springs gives the 2DR about 3 inches of lift in the front. Can I install those springs (front and back) and keep my shocks, bump stops and sway bar links that I installed with the 2.5” BB?

I plan to install skids, rocker guards and rear bumper/carrier in the near future.

You may want to browse some more. The TF 2.5" 4door coils give 3" on a 4door. They give 4" on a 2door...

I emailed TF and he told me that the 4dr 2.5" give the 2dr roughly 3.1". How high can I go before I have to swap out for bigger bumpstops, sway bar links and shocks

Start looking at more of the posts by TF on this site. 4door 2.5" coils give 3.1" on a 4door

Yes you can. I did the same thing a few years back (2.5" BB to 2.5" coils). The remaining parts in the two kits are identical. You will like the difference in the stance and the ride.
