JK newbie needing experienced advice before my lift purchase. What do you guys think about doing a 4" teraflex LA and 2.5" BB, 39.5" IROKs and 20's will this work? Any input will be appreciated.

What is the actual height on those tires?
Depending on model and weight, you're in the 5-6" range with those coils. Think I'd chop the flares or go to flats, add some bumpstop - and skip the spacers...

yeah, i agree with ^^. I would go with one of the many 6" lifts available.. and chop your flares or add a set of flats. Also try to find a set of 20s with the right offset to get your near 4.5" of BS. Post pics if you decide to do this!

You're going to need to cut the fenders or go flat, for sure... a body lift would help you too. You will also need to increase the rear wheel clearance on the front edge. You'll need to move the leading edge about 1-1.5" towards the front of the Jeep...
Let's see some pictures....

yeah I think your right, I should just go with a 6". I thought teraflex has/had one of their jeeps or a customers rig with 6" and 39's or 40's didnt they? As for mine its a simple 4dr. x, thanks again for the input ill post pics as we progress.

I would spend some time reading over planman's 40" LCG lift so you have a grasp on what can be accomplished without 6" of lift.
