Yeah I got the new shocks and I have 1.5" spidertrax spacers to put on too. I'm planning on running my stock wheels and tires until I can figure out if I want 33's or 35's. I've noticed some people have had problems with the rear sway bar links and had to mount them different than the instructions say. Did you have any issues with them?
If you'd like, send me a PM with your number as I may have a couple hours available tomorrow to lend a hand, or at the minimum, some moral support.
Also, a couple of jacks can help if the coils are being ornery. Hopefully you have a decent set of tools, stands, jacks, etc., as the right items in that department can help tremendously.

Hey guys I'll be installing the 2.5" teraflex coil lift tomorrow.. Are there any tips or things I can do to make for an easier install? For now I'm just going to install the track bar relocation bracket on the rear, but might end up putting on new adjustable track bars in the future. thanks
And liquid dish detergent helps when trying to get the front bumpstops in. If I remember correctly, we used the scissor jack to push the bumpstop in on JK-Rubi's jeep. It also helps to coat the outside of the front bumpstop with detergent when pushing the front coils into place.
I'll have some free time tomorrow and I'm in Madison too. So shoot me a pm with time/address/number and I'll try to stop by for a while.

Hey Bama, those tires look good and the picture doesn't even look photoshopped. Now you can give JK-Rubi a run for his money on the trails.
By the way, first you take your wife trail riding and get her all muddy. And now you make it even harder for her to climb in the jeep with those tires. Yep, you owe her big time.

Thanks Denny. I know, now she needs to take a running jump to get in. I guess I need to get her a new step-stool for Christmas. The bad thing is know I think it would look nice with a 4"+ long arm.

A step-stool!!! You cad - a real gentleman would buy her a nice step to permanently mount to the Jeep. Those Mopar, Shrockworks, PureJeep, etc. steps (some people erroneously, especially in discussions with their wives, refer to these as sliders/rock rails) would address the problem nicely.
thanks Rubi!!
