there is nothing to align. at most, you may need to recenter your steering wheel but that's about it. most of the jk's i have installed this kit on didn't even need that.

If i put the 3/4" spacers in the front on top of the 2.5" spacers, that wont cause any problems with stuff shifting around? Im mainly concerned about the spacer on top of spacer with the shock extensions...

I suspect 37s will require at least a 1" body lift and maybe some flat fenders so as not to rub. That's a might big tire for a 2.5" bb. It can be done, though.

From reading of a bunch of other posts, my understanding is that you can 'stack' the spacer in the front (have a small lip) and they won't shift. The rear is a different story.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Thats good to hear, I want to get rid of the rake in the front. I'm close to buying the kit, just waiting on some more funds. P.S. Did anyone else notice the price change on the teraflex BB from Northridge? The kit with shock adapters went up like $100. WTF?

I love my BB. I am going to add the 3/4" spacer in the front due to heavy bumper and rake that I do not want anymore.

This is a quality kit, good value, great customer service.

I did this lift with 1.5" spider trax spacers.

It's good. Ride is decent. I used the shock extensions because my 4dr has the dual top pkg and tow pkg (which means heavier spring rates) and kept the oem shocks....

If I could do anything differently, prolly wouldve upgraded to the tf shocks or bilsteins.

Enjoy the jeep!


Edit: factory rake. I don't mind it at all. As a matter of fact, I am not sure why folks are so adamantly opposed to it. I think (aesthetic wise) it makes the jk look more aggressive.
