Question for those with teraflex 2.5 inch sl
I have a 09 4dr rubicon. I have upgraded the wheels to alloys and the tires to 33x12.5/15 mt's. When im going over 50 mph on mildly bumpy pavement, the jeep shakes abit, moreso than when I had the stock tires. Otherwise, it rides well. My question is when I get the tereaflex 2.5 inch spring lift, will this help my ride in these situations? If anyone has this lift feel free to chime in. Suggestions also appreciated.

the spring lift should ride like stock if not a little better. but your problem is probably cause by a tire that is not properly balanced, does it do the shimmy at 50 on smooth roads too?

Or it is shaking with the new tires only, and did not shake with stock tires?

Just installed my 2.5" sl today and from what I've experienced so far it drives better than stock. I took it on the highway up to 75 and it tracks perfect, and doesn't do anything strange over bumps or potholes.

Always check these two things first after new lift and tires;
1) Tires are properly inflated, lug nuts are tight, tires were properly mounted and balanced (if there are no weights attached to any of the wheels, chances are they are not balanced). Some of the 4-Wheel Parts stores have a reputation for charging customers for balancing, but never doing it. An unbalanced tire would cause what you are experiencing.
2) Re-torque the bolts on the whole suspension. Then make sure that the new suspension parts are greased (they come dry from the factory).
My 2.5" TF spring kit rides better than stock.
