Default TeraFlex leveling kit.

Hey Guys

I'm thinking about doing the TeraFlex leveling kit. Question, it states that I may have to add wheel spacers to my Jeep, if I do this. Does anyone know if this is true, and what size spacers?

I have a 2010 2 Door Sport, with stock sized BF Goodrich, MTs.

Has anybody else have this done?

Thanks in Advance.

I installed this kit and did not use spacers. I'm still using the stock 255/75-17 tires and stock wheels (stock 6" back spacing). No issues.

If you were use larger tires, then you probably would need spacers (or different wheels).

First guys says no, you say yes. Does it give it a better stance with the spacers?

"First guys says no, you say yes." Then I'll say maybe... What tires? No lift? Just want to pick the front up a little?

Has something to do with the new swaybar end links being longer and rubing against the inside of the rim. Wheel spacers move the rim out more thus ending this problem.
