Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift Install question
Guys,
I installed my Teraflex 2.5 coil lift yesterday with the shock extension. In my installation booklet at some point during installing the rear. The booklet says that after I install my rear coil spacers I need to make sure to replace the stock spring isolator. My kit was a coil kit and no rear spring spacers were included. I looked at the photograph at the front of the booklet and no spring spacers were photographed. After that one section in the instructions it never mentions spring spacers. I assumed this was perhaps an incorrect instruction...maybe they accidently included the page from the BB kit. Can someone with kit confirm that no spring spacers are included with Coil kit?
Thanks very much.

What is it about the Teraflex shocks?
Does the spacer provide an Additional 1/2"? I was just wondering why you get a little more lift? Thanks very much for the quick reply

It is because the Tera shocks provide enough droop for the springs to become unseated. The spacer will keep the spring in the center of the upper perch as it seats and unseats.

right...you don't need these spacers (coil retainers) with the factory shocks and extension kit option. Tera shocks give an additional 3" of travel which causes the coil to unseat on this size lift. Your stance will be better without the extra 1/2" spacer in the rear too.
