Teraflex lift Kit 2.5 with stock wheels
#11
if your rear axle goes to full droop offroad, the rear sway link will hit the inside of the OEM wheel. There is a reason the instructions says 4.5inch backspaced wheel is required, even if you are running 32's you run the risk of this happening.
I know a bunch of people will chime in and say they run OEM 32's with this lift no problem, and they are probably 100% correct because they have never fully flexed the suspension... but if you plan to wheel it hard, do yourself a favor and pick up a set of wheel spacers.

Backspacing is the distance from the wheel mounting pad to the inside edge of the wheel. The stock wheels have around 6" of backspacing (I cant remember exactly). So, adding a set of wheel spacers of 1.5" will lower that number to around the 4.5" area (which is a common backspace for an aftermarket wheel).

The lift is installed, but I am also running front Control Arm relocation brackets. They move the mounting point of the CA on the frame side forward and lower. This improves the castor and ride of the Jeep, but it does make the front lower than the back. If you look close you can see it. I had to use some puck spacers to get the front even with the back.
