Which 2.5" teraflex? Suspension or budget boost? I have the bb with shock extensions and 35" km2s and no complaints. Rides very close to stock which is fine by me

You I'll probably get 3" from the 2.5 suspension. Driveshaft is highly recommended for anything over 3" on a 2012

He's obviously doing research, that's why he's asking for help, don't be a douche bag.

I bought a lift when I got the jeep and did no research. After doing some now I found out that that lift tends to be stiff. So I'm asking for some advice now so I don't make the same mistake twice. So if u have no adive then don't respond. I'll ask my local 4wd store. Maybe they will be more help.

Fusco10. Did you replace the springs so you have Teraflex's 2.5" coil lift ? or did you add plastic pucks and therefore have their Budget Boost ?

Either one, I'd have your lift checked by a garage, as both are popular and rarely get complaints.

Assuming the suspension lift is correctly installed and tight, what psi are you running on the tires ? This is my guess as to your concern. I run 27psi on my 35s with TF 2.5" coil lift and it rides and handles great.
