lift and C.As just not working
so i have a teraflex 2.5in coil and shock lift.. i also have all 8 teraflex flex arms. the rear uppers do not work because it pushes the axle back to far and causes the coil to hit the track bar.. really the only way to fix this is to cut the upper arms about an inch or get a bigger lift.. so i purchased one inch spacers to add to my lift.. then tried the rear uppers and still, same problem.. now is it me or is something not right. if i add a one inch spacer to my 2.5 in lift wouldnt it make it 3.5inch lift? i know teraflex lifts are usually a bit bigger then what is stated, but i have front and rear heavy bumpers so even if i get the minimum 2.5inchs, adding a one inch spacer should raise it enough to use the arms..
the TF instructions only tell u the length specs for a 3 and 4inch kit.. not the 2.5.. so i figured if i got a lift in that range then there is no reason i cant use them.. also, the fronts all work but my axle is a little bit to far forward and i can not adjust because my front lowers is adjusted all the way in..
someone save me.. this has been an issue since day one and now im ready to get rid of the lift and arms and start fresh.

Following on what Planman has said, I have the TF 2.5" coil lift and shocks, and the TF front LCAs, and stock CAs elsewhere. With that combo the rear JKS trackbar jam nut was within a hair of touching the right rear spring. So, I added RK wedges. I am absolutely delighted with this configuration.

this is kinda a dead thread, but but if i want to move my rear axle back some, as the TF 2.5" lift caused my rear axle to shift forward. run both upper and lower CAs? who makes an adj CA that isnt too long at the shortest length to get what im looking for?
