I'm a bit confused. So, do you need new control arms and track bars? If I were to buy the Teraflex BB with shock adapters only, would I have any issues? What problems can arise from not having your axles centered?

Do you have a picture of what your Jeep looks like with the 32" tires with the lift? Does it look disproportionate?

No, you do not need either for the tera 2.5 BB. My front axle is off about 3/8" and the back about 5/8". The only thing I can see happenning is some tire rub on one side when I put 35x12.50 on it at full flex.

I have the kit with shock adapters and no issues at all after 3000 miles and some light wheeling. However I have heard of some 2drs having some wandering issues due to the axles being offset, although some people say they dont on a 2dr. The ones that had problem added either a rear FRAME mounted trackbar relocation bracker or rear adjustable trackbar and that fixed the wandering. But I have a 4dr, so I cant say for sure about 2dr issues, just what I have read on this forum.

I should have some at home. It doesnt look disproportionate at all. Although 35's would look better, I can live with the 32's for awhile.

Save your money and get the real deal, I've got BB but wish I would have went with a complete kit now. I'm adding adjustable front track bar and rear relocation bracket and swapping out to a spring lift. I am not doing it because I have too, just because I think mechanically it is the right thing to do. Axles were off slightly, not more than an 1/4" front and rear but I want it perfect. Alignment was a waste of money/time, was bang on after the BB but they can't correct anyways so I am ordering adjustable lower control rods to dial in. BB is great way to clear bigger tires on a budget though!

I agree. Thats why its called a Budget boost. It may not be correct. But its a cheap way to do it. Once you add ADJ frt rear bars to the bb, it becomes MORE expensive than a real lift.
