Teraflex 1.5 coil levelIng kit tire/wheel question!?! Help!
So I was dead set on getting this lift/leveling kit (1.5" teraflex performance coil leveling kit) and then I decided to stop by the tire shop today. Running a brand new 2012 JKU Sport with the 255-17" package. The guy at the shop was nice enough to throw a 285-70-16 BF Goodrich At Ko on a black 16" rim. I was surprised it fit on stock suspension and didn't rub when fully turned. Knowing that I only wanted a little height on this jeep for a pavement pounder I'm now trying to decide if it's worth putting the kit on or not. Any ody have this kit on, and if so what tire size/wheel size are you running? I don't want to go much bigger than a 285 or 295. Thanks for any input.

I am running the Teraflex leveling kit with 285/75r17s and it is perfect. The tires are 34s and did fit without the kit and just flat fenders but the leveling kit does a great job leveling the Jeep out and give it a better stance.

Here is my current JK with 285's and no lift. I here a little rubbing at full turn here and there. I'd say with the BB you shouldn't have any issues.

I do think you should read this post though. Alot of people have had no issue with the leveling kit. I had an issue and a few others did. I was able to correct my problem by getting the rubi springs. (Cost me $50 bux.) Just have to make sure you have the right springs on under your jeep. The passenger side spring needs to have a higher number than the driver side. (You can find this on the little tags on the springs.) But like I said....most people don't have this issue.

Well all I can say.... is I thought the same thing originally..... never planned on doing much to my jeep. I even turned down the lift kit at the factory. Just do yourself a favor and never get a parts magazine from quadratec or anything similar....and especially don't ever go riding around with other jeeps that have done work to theirs 
It's kinda a very contagious sickness and once you start....you won't wanna stop. And each mod is that much more rewarding. ........lmao....So yes... I guess I did have some thoughts... lol. I say put it on there!
