Default teraflex 3in lift

Does anyone have the teraflex 3in lift? Im thinking about getting it. What do you all think? Will i need anything else or does the kit cover it? I have an 08 2 door. Will my drive shafts be alright? Any input would be great. Thanks.

The 3" Teraflex kit is a basic kit gives you everything needed to run 35's, but you may want to add adjustable front upper or lower control arms for castor adjustment, or an adjustable front track bar to center the front axle. It depends on your budget how "complete" any kit is. You may be OK with your factory driveshafts, but if you have an automatic, you should consider replacing the front for sure.

I have an 08 2dr and the Teraflex 3" lift. My 08 is also an automatic. The kit is great. I have had no problems. I am going to add a 3/4" spacer to the front springs because I have added a bumper and need the additional lift. I will also add an adjustable track bar when I add the spacer. But, as it is now everything is great. I did have a good shop do the lift so I could make sure the alignment was correct.

Good Luck

You couldnt post a pic could you. Im really thinking about this kit. Im just worried about driveshaft issues. Any vibes at all? I dont mind buying new stuff. I just dont want to get it on and not be able to drive it because i have to buy more stuff. Id rather have everything ready from the start. Thanks.

Here is a pic of mine with the Teraflex 3" kit (no upgrades at that time), with 315/70-17 tires and Spidertrax spacers:

Yes, that's what many people do. It shouldn't be a pain in the ass at all. Most of the good 4x4 supply shops will be able to get them for you if they don't stock what you want, but check with Northridge. They probably have them available.
