Just got the jeep 4 days ago, and love it( base model 2dr ) looking at the teraflex 2.5" coil lift with shocks, plan on running 35's. is there anything else i need, and what about quick Disconnects. very new to jeeps ( first vehicle to) thanks for the help in advance.

thanks for the quick reply, will 35's rub much at full flex?

Dtn8rJK

sounds great, sorry for all the questions but i got one more, kit dosent come with quick Disconnect that i can see, any aftermarket ones bolt on? or any you suggest? thanks again.

Dtn8rJK

sorry, but I have to disagree on the 2.5 lift and 35s. You will rub at good (not even full) flex, but not on the fenders. I was rubbing so hard on the body seam that ends just in front of the rear tire that I stopped at the trial head and beat them over with a sledge. Still will hit, but at least it doesnt cut the tires. The front at full flex in a tight turn bent my terra flex sway bar dosconnect pins. Mine are Black Diamond 3 inch springs, that gave me a full 3.5 inches of real lift (after settling). I am thinking of some 3/4 inch levelers to get me that extra smidge.

My guess:
dpoelstra was disconnected
MarcusRTJ was not - or has a ton of bumpstop?

Just as a comparison to Marcus's pics, here is mine while disconnected. (34's with 4" lift - rubbing the sidewalls going straight, turning would have taken the fender off...)



JKS and Teraflex seem to be the more popular disco's. Great reviews on both, though I have seen several posts with negative comments concerning the pins on the Terflex disco's. (search around a bit and you'll find more info on both) If you do go with disco's, be sure to flex it out 'before' you get out to the trail and end up ripping a fender or brake line off...

I'd also suggest front bumpstops, if the kit does not come with them.
And brake line extensions. (several threads here with home-made extensions using hardware store parts for around $5 if you don't want to buy the pretty packaged ones)
And start saving for a set of front adjustable control arms.
And you may as well save for adjustable track bars too.
And a long arm kit, D60's and hemi swap while you're at it...

With a 2.5" and 35"s you may rub the plastic lower bumper dam.

people running the teraflex 2.5" coil lift, how do you find it, much rub?

im also new to all of this and looking into the same thing you are but someone brought it to my attention that i should do a 2.5'' budget boost with a 1'' body lift..just an option

ya i thought about the teraflex 3" lift, but i dont really have the cash for driveshafts. i want something that i can run 35's with no rub.
