I noticed a difference on highway speeds where when you hit a bump the jeep would bounce or jar. One way to know is when you are installing the lift and reconnecting the stock front trackbar and it's away from the bolt hole a lot. Also you can do the do it yourself step by step alignment measurement to see if the front end is not equal on both sides of the Jerp or it's dog legging.

x2...That is exactly how I did it...4 years ago! It has been great and so has support from Teraflex! A rear shock started to leak a month ago...they sent me a new one, no charge....can't ask for more!

Since you have a Rubicon, you also need to disconnect the wires going into the differentials that power the lockers. The kit comes with a trackbar bracket for the rear, but your front won't be effected as much. I recommend installing the TF kit, get an alignment (toe adjustment) and then drive it around for a bit before deciding on a front trackbar. Most likely you will not need it.

I just got through installing my 2.5" TF coil lift last weekend. Don't fight the passenger side front spring, don't worry about getting a spring compressor. Take off the drag link and tie rod from the knuckle ( take off the nut from each, then strike the knuckle with a hammer right where they install and they will pop right out, takes all of 2 minutes if that, mine was less because I used my air impact to remove the nuts). With those out of the way the spring is just as easy as the driver's side.

I recommend do the alignment yourself and follow the step by step procedure that is posted here on the forum. Why waste the money towards an alignment. That way like I stated eariler in a post if your front end is shifted over you will know that you need a front trackbar to align it. If the alignment is off It's totally drivable without installing a front trackbar,but at freeway speeds it's touchy.

Did the back today with TIE1ON and took us around 3hrs and now have a jacked up jeep. We had to stop so I could clean the barn and do some IT work for my boss. I will say the rear was easy, we took our time and really had no snags. will take care of front tonight or tomorrow. I did rent a spring compressor but it stayed warm in the case, didnt need it.

I installed a TF 2.5 coil lift and changed all control arms fr/rr up & lower. I used my own settings as TF are for 3" and above. My jeep drives very well, not too much different, although it goes better over the bumps.

I also installed a TF heavy duty adjustable trackbar in the front. Actually for the TF 2.5coil lift the adjustable trackbar is too long (cannot shorten enough) I had to cut off (sawn) 1/2 inch to centralize my axel properly, anybody else shortened it's adjustable trackbar in the front?

I did mention the trackbar, and there's no need to loosen the control arms. They are free to move, naturally. I don't know why TF mentions to loosen them.

Cpt. Flapjack

You loosen them because the rubber bushings are molded to the inner sleave. When you lift the jeep, this causes them to be in a loaded condition at ride height. You want to loosen then re-torque them at ride height so the bushing relaxes. If you don't do this, you can cause the suspension to act flighty and even contribute to a DW condition.

Great lift ...

Just take you time and follow Teraflex's instructions.
