Default Teraflex 2.5" coil lift question

I bought the lift used about 6 months ago and just got the money saved up to buy my tires. I looked in the box and I do not have the
shock extension brackets. Will I be able to run factory shocks if I don't do any major flexing? How will this affect daily driving?

No you will need longer shocks or exstensions. The new height will be to tall for the stock shocks.

You can lookup the shock extension on the TF website or other members (As I have done) will sell when they get longer shocks.

Thank you for the reply. I kind of thought that was the case but, I was hoping I was wrong.

Do you have brake line extension brackets for the rear?

Let me take a look out in my garage to see if I still have mine on the shelf somewhere. If I do, just pay for shipping and they're yours.

I do have the brake line brackets. That would be great if you have them. While we are talking let me see what you all think of what I am putting on here. I am going with the TF coil lift I have the SpiderTrax 1.5" wheel spacers, I'm keeping my stock wheels and I just bought 5 ProComp 315 75r16 AT's. I got a really good deal on these tires. 5 for the price of 4!

Similar to my setup, but i'm running Nitto Trailgrapplers.. Its an awesome setup.. watch your spare on the tailgate though, could do damage as mine did. Also, I had to remove the stock airdam in front and re calibrate..

Nice pics! Where were they taken? So you had to get a swing away carrier because of to much weight on the tail gate? Did you have any rubbing on the pinch seams? I have heard some people had problems with that.

That set-up should work. You may have to pull off the plastic air dam in the front, but that's no big deal. Another issue you "might" run into is having the tires mounted. Some installers won't install wheel spacers and some will. Others might also have issue that your wheels aren't the "approved" width. I'd just call around a few places and ask. You may be better off at a small independent installer than a big chain store. Anyway, I do have the extensions. The fronts are still attached to the shocks, so I'm gonna have to spray them and hope they come apart. It looks like all the hardware is there also. If something is missing, you should have no problem finding a replacement at Home Depot or Lowes. I'd prefer Paypal to pay for the shipping. I think $10 should cover it.
