Default Teraflex leving kit

Hi all,

I have a 2014 Rubi X. I am looking at adding a small lift for the time being. I am looking at the Teraflex leveling spacer kit. I am quit pleased with the stock suspension and want to spend money on the Jeep elsewhere first, skids and such. I will be running a 10k engo winch on the front with the stock X bumper. Does anyone run this kit with a winch? Do you have much sag? I am thinking may another 1/2" spacer upfront to compensate for the winch? Pics of this kit would be great. It is a DD with mild offroading and exploration duties. Thanks!

You may want to consider the Performance Leveling Kit (coils) if you're putting on a considerable amount of weight.

that winch weighs 88lbs. I am guessing a winch plate would be at least 30lbs. So that would be a total of 118 to the front end. that is not included the 80lbs Rubicon X bumper.

I have 130lbs on my front end with stock #18 front coils and a 3/4 spacer And the front end sagged.

I ended up switching to the Rock Krawler 1.5 coils. 4 months and no sagging.

^Agreed. I've spoken with TeraFlex and they insisted the coils over the pucks if adding ANY additional weight to the front end.

Per the Teraflex rep you will not see as much of an advantage when going from rubicon setup to the performance leveling kit as you will from the spacer kit. I got the spacer leveling kit and it's been great on my 15 JKUR.
