This probably a FAQ but My jeep has 33" Mickey thompson tires (12.5) with 17 inch rims, should I put a 2.5 inch lift on it? I have a steering stabilizer on it and I am pretty sure it has correct backspaceing so would I need anything else?
Northridge 4x4 (Dave) sold me the 2.5" Teraflex coil lift and Bilstein shocks. Somewhere in the $775 neighborhood. The local 4x4 shop said it was a very good price. It was great service and received the stuff in a couple days. Jeep turned out how I wanted it. I did not want it too high and wanted either 33" or 34" tires with no clearance issues. Went with 285/75/17s tires which required spacers.
I originally had a 2" lift all around. Had to replace the fronts with 2.5 Teraflex when I changed the bumper and added my winch. I lost about a half inch. Hated that nose down profile.
I was going to try to find someone to help me because I do not know enough but ended up using a local 4x4 shop. They did a great job and know a lot about this stuff. Costs that I founf for an install were between $300-400. Install and alignment. The shop was samll but I spoke to them a few times and have seen the trucks & Jeeps they have done and was worth it to me because it's done right.
You can do it yourself. You will need a helper. Just follow the instructions. Projectjk has a good write up with pictures for the Teraflex 2.5 spacer lift with shocks. The basic algorithm is the same if you decide to do springs instead of spacers.
