Hey Guys,
I wanted to share my own personal review of the teraflex 2.5" coil spring lift as I find it hard to find all of the info on some of their products from users online.
I have had this kit on for about two weeks and will be parting with it soon to move to the next stage of lift. I will break this down into a couple of subcategories to hopefully help fill in gaps for those considering this lift.
1. Completeness of kit - this kit comes with everything you need to lift your jk, including adjustments for sway bar end links, bump stops at all 4 corners and a rear pan hard bar relocation bracket. Everything fit as it was designed when installing and looked high quality from a finish standpoint.
2. Fit - there were absolutely 0 problems with installation. Instructions were good. I am running 315/70r15 tires and did not have to cut seams or stock rubi bars to properly clear the new tires thanks to the proper bump stops.
3. Finish - as advertised my rake is completely gone and the jeep sits high enough to clear a 35 with proper backspacing.
4. Ride quality - I am in Louisiana and our roads are terrible. My kit came with the 9550 shocks (which I highly recommend). The ride quality is night and day better than my factory Rubicon set up was. Where I would almost smack my head on my roll bar pulling into my driveway before (I'm 6'4") the new components have taken all of the violence out and made harsh bumps more well received. Train tracks at speed, gravel roads and climbing or dropping are now absorbed by the suspension and not by my teeth. I took a buddy with a 4 door on a budget boost and he was astonished at how much more smoothly my 2 door rode than his 4 door.
4. Cons - it retains a very similar nose dive when hard braking as the factory suspension did. I've only had the jeep for about three weeks so I'm not sure if this is common on jk's but its really only more of an annoyance.
5. Coil lift w/shocks vs. Coil lift with extensions vs. Budget boost - I highly recommend saving up the extra couple of hundred bucks to go coil with shocks. I can tell tera did their homework putting this spring/shock pairing together as the ride is dramatically better than stock. I ran a bb on an 09' that I had for about 8 months several years back and the ride quality was actually worse after lifting.
Hopefully this helps and please don't relocate this to the lift thread, I research a lot and honestly that thread is useless because of its difficulty to navigate.
