I have a 1in spacer stacked on top of my 2.5" tfbb . I have had it for about 3000miles and no problems yet. Rides just like factory and for the most part fixed the rake. I bought the spacer from northridge.

My 4dr with the Tera 2.5 BB sagged about 1.25" after I added the winch, RC winch plate, mopar front skid, rockhard skid, and Viair compressor. I replaced the front springs with FT HD 3" coils. Leveled it out perfectly. Rides alot better now too. I also added an adj tracbar and adj arms since the front end has 4" of lift now.

Is there any issues leveling out the front and lower MPG?
I wanted to do the same, but not if it costs me more at the pump.

Mine sags about an inch. David at Northridge said to put rubicon coils on. He says it will make a .5 difference in the front. Do the unlimiteds and the two doors have the same coils? I've found some off of a 4 door and want to make sure they will fit.

They will fit. The unlimited will have a higher spring rate though. I think I remember reading there are 20 + factory spring rates

Currie sells a "Front End Leveling Kit". It comes with spacers and brakelines. I think they are an "approved" vendor, so check out their site for more info. I'm pretty sure it's more than a 3/4" spacer.

I am going to try the 1 inch spacers up front. At only $32 from Northridge, they are worth a shot and a hell of a lot cheaper than springs! I just want to get rid of the sagging front end.

I ordered the Teraflex HD BB, and have decided to use OME spring all around.
I have the Teraflex 3" front springs, brand new, never installed, I'll sell ya for like $75 if you're interested.
About $160 anywhere else
