Default TF leveling kit before and after

Everyone always wants to see before and after shots, so I thought I'd do it a little differently. Once in the garage, I marked a rod with tape before and after lift was installed for people to get a better idea of what it does.

Teraflex 1.5" Leveling kit. 2010 2 Door Sport bone stock suspension, 265/70/17 AT 2's.

Front before lift:


Front after lift:


Total difference 1.75".

Rear before lift:


Rear after lift:


Also a 1.75" difference.

Next step, 33's.

Hope this helps those looking for info on this lift.

Question Is this the coil kit or spacers?

Also, got any pics of the entire jeep? Preferably before & after?

No before and after of the entire jeep. It seemed to me that photos don't do justice to seeing in real life. I took an after pic and compared to real life......not so impressed. That's why I went this route when I posted pictures.

So, you're saying it's not a noticable overall differance in pics but noticable in person?

I think from the research I've done it's rare that photos really show the difference. We're not professional photographers and it's a small lift. It seems very few photos really show it off well.

It's kind of funny that your levelling kit lifted both the front and rear the same, 1.75". It did nothing to level the jeep!

I know, baffled me too. The jeep is definitely level now, but the measurements on the steel rod threw me a bit since they were both about 1.75 " I wonder if the measurements are off because I measured and took pictures of the front before lifting the back?

Do you have aftermarket bumpers? I'm trying to decided what set up I am going to go with...
