Default Teraflex 6" lift questions.

Looking into going higher. I'm currently running 4" teraflex LCG kit with 37s on my 2011 jkuR and I'm wanting to go bigger. If I run a 6" lift will I have to move my spring seats on my axles to adjust my drive angle? Anyone with good input on this would be great. Thanks

with 4" TF coils, you're already running close to 5" of lift and you really want to go 6"? with TF coils, that'll probably be more like 7" and your COG will be way off. even if you're trying to run 40's, that's more lift that i would go unless you don't do much rock crawling. to answer your question, being that you have a 4-door, you should be fine with your factory spring perches. up front, there's nothing you can do anyway and in the rear, you will see some bowing of your rear coils after setting your pinion angle but, not enough to really matter. still, you can address this with a set of JKS adjustable spring perches.

X100 , you can throw lcg out the window with that much lift. I can't think of any good reasons to jack your rig up that high unless you plan on driving over station wagons at the county fair.
