One of the most informative and helpful wrangler videos on youtube
You the only vietnamese that like off road" now I'm in to off road too... All the rest of vietnamese don't even got the truck or suv got dirt.
2.5" lift with 34/35s is a great all round combo.
Do you need a front end alignment with a 2.5 lift?
@@stinger5800 Only if you add adjustable control arms. If you are re-using factory or using a preset control arm you do not need an alignment.
I agree
Love that you covered all the bases with pros and cons.
I just want to Thank Teraflex staff for being the, I recently purchase a lift kit for a Jeep through extreme terrain, when the mechanic open the boxes, peinados there were two links missing for the front sway bar, so my daughter call extreme terrain to let them know, about the parts missing , Extreme Terrain, told her to call Teraflex wich she did, Teraflex staff didn't hesitate to replace the parts no questions asked , Teraflex is the best equipment in the market, we are very satisfied with their product, I would definitely recommend this product and their staff. Thank you Teraflex , keep up the good work....
+Jimmy T Thank you! That means a lot!
This is the best video on lifts thus so far.... Thanks for explaining things, now I know exactly what I'm getting.
Thank you guys so much for posting this! I just bought my first Jeep (04 TJ Sport) and I'm in love. I think a good portion of the fun is accessorizing and you guys just answered a ton of questions I had. Great video. I'll check out your other ones now, too!
FANTASTIC VIDEO! I just purchased a 2o12 Trail Rated Sahara... will be lifting eventually, but yes, need it to be somewhat "regular" for running around town for my business, family etc... Thanks for such high quality advice!
Thx T Crew and Dennis, One of the best videos ever seen for lifting your rig. Thx Folks It was great getting to meet you in Pomona Expo
thumbs up just for the awesome kid crawling in that jeep...look on his face..priceless
I really found this video very informative. Thank you.
This has to be one of the best lift kit videos I've seen by far.
Will be getting my Teraflex 2.5 Spring Lift in 2 months! Can't WAIT!
This has been by far the best and most helpful video for lift information even 9 years later
We're so happy to hear that!
I don't own a jeep but enjoy wheeling in my Tahoe and Unimog. This has got to be one of the best vids I've seen in regards to lift, with some great opinions and solutions. Great job guys!!!
Great video - considering that we want to keep our Jeep as a DD, we may want to go for your spring leveling kit or the 2.5" kit. Thanks!
Love this! thank you for helping me make my decision as to where I would love to get my suspension kit from! I just got a brand new JL (2019!!) it’s my first new car, which I’m paying for myself as a reward from getting accepted into graduate school! I hope in the next few years I’ll be able to save enough to get a nice huge lift with some Dana 60s with 538 gears in them to go with some 38-40s! I love the way your jeeps look with this! So beefy and awesome!! Anyways thanks for this video, I was really struggling to find a good kit to get and this just settled my decision!!
Same as Joed569, thanks for the info! This video covers a lot of ground and does good to explain the need for various degrees of lift.
This is such a great video. Answered many, maybe all, of my questions regarding tire size and lift. Jeff Mock is the voice of practicality and reason...listen to the elders.
those wheels + ADD bumpers = awesome
On KZhead, I've seen some of the most useful and instructional wrangler videos. But I think this video is one of the greatest.
Fantastic video guys !!!! Alot of education in here , will probably watch it over and over ....
Teraflex rocks. This video was awesome, very informative. Thanks for all the work you put in to making your videos I don't know another company that puts in this kind of work to showcase their products except maybe AEV.
I love watching these videos. They are so well done :)
I'd like to lift my 99 Wrangler and this video was very informative. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the reply, much appreciated. Looking forward to outfitting with some Teraflex gear \m/
The best video of jeep suspension I have found. And there are a number of great vids here in KZhead so nice job guys! So much great info! Thanks!
Thanks!!
This is one of the most informative videos I've seen on here. Very impressive. I'm saving this one too my Jeep mods page
Very glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes it would be a great kit to start off with.
Awesome video, I'l take a 2.5 lift with 35 tires. God Bless America!
Why only 2.5?
That's what I am looking into for the wife. Just not sure on what suspension lift yet.
Brian Morales the sad thing is that on TJ/LJ you gotta go higher to even fit 35” so im looking at either 5.5 with 35s or 4.5 with 33s, but the look is just better than the jk in my opinion
We need to see more Jen....bigger tires, lifts, and Jen:-)
Excellent video. Please keep making more vids. Subscribed.
Just an awesome video. Once I get my jeep or the Bronco, I am buying one of these kits. TY
Thanks for the video. Helped a lot.
Amazingly informative video. Thanks a lot!
That JK has a 3" short arm kit also installed that comes with new adjustable control arms plus they added our trackbars to it.
Outstanding video 👍🏻
Great video now I know I'm going with 17"x 35x 12.50 with a Mopar/Teraflex 3" short arm lift with the Fox shocks absorbers for my 2013.....Thanks so much for the video.
I love how not once did they put down any size lift. To each is own. Thank you.
Are you running 28-32 psi in your tires? What shocks are you running? Feel free to email us at tech@teraflx.com
Contact our Customer Service Dept here at tech@teraflx.com on your issues with that kit. They can help guide you to a better ride.
Really awesome video guys, it really gave me a lot of information to make a good decision on the type of lift ill be getting
Awesome vid!!! Have a 2013 Rubicon 10th anniversary and didn't really know where to start. My first jeep, and finding info is so overwhelming with all the magazines and websites for jeeps out there. This really steered me in the right direction.
When lifting these jeeps does the electronic sway bar disconnect functions as normal
Got the Teraflex 2.5" lift kit on my 15 JKU and I LOVE IT!! I got the kit with shocks. The install was simple, and I also put adjustable heavy duty lower control arms and a heavy duty steering stabilizer. Which model Teraflex track bar do y'all recommend? I am experiencing some wobble and I'm sure one of your track bars would fix it. Thanks!
In October I bought a 24' Wrangler sport 4 Dr. 2.0L auto that came with a 3.5" TeraFlex lift on 35" Nitto's and 18" Fuel's. It's a street Jeep. A daily driver. I never plan on going off road. It drives very well and I like it. I love the stance (-;
Love my Teraflex lift !
I like the contrasting opinions. Good video.
I chose a 4.5 inch SkyJacker Sport lift with a TeraFlex track bar and TeraFlex drag link, Procomp shock absorbers, and Bellyup transfer case skid plate kit with slip yoke eliminator. It took me eight hours to install with basic hand tools.
Thank you for the video! I Just bought a 2016 4-door. I already have a trail rig and I had planned on keeping the jeep stock. Now my plan is to keep it NEARLY stock. Would like 35's. I don't want to give up any drive ability. With the TF budget spacer kit I'm sure the ride on the highway will remain almost the same but will I have any issues off road that I wouldn't had I kept it stock? Will my wheels be able to fully articulate with this kit and 35's?
Great vid guys! One Question: I'm trying to do a 3 - 3.5 coil lift on my '14 JKU-Altitude on 35 tires. When I research the 3 - 3.5 lift kits, they "recommend" that I change the drive shaft...Is that a must, or does it depend on the driver &/or trail?
On my 08 rubicon i have the teraflex 4.5 inch lift with the teraflex front and rear straight axle with 4:88 gearing running 37 mtr mastercraft its my dd does 80 mph just fine and smooth with the lift and tires i highly recommend teraflex for every one interested in hard core off roading rock crawling or just to transform your ride for a special look
Either the 3" short arm kits or the 2.5" series is a great kit to go with.
Always helpful!
This was a great informative video. I am new to jeeps...I don't want to 4 wheel (yet):O). I am more of a daily commute, beach drive and maybe a camping user. I do want to bump it up a little and get 35 in wheels...especially for winter in Canada. So I will look at 2.5 in Budget Bump or springs with 35s for sure. Thanks so much for explaining things.
Very informative! I've got a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara and definitely in that duel purpose category since I drive it daily to work, long drives (2 to 5 hour drives sometimes) and on occasion offroad driving the creeks. So I'm thinking the 3 or 3.5 inch might be perfect for my Jeep without having to change stock axles and gears?
--thx for post videos,very helpful to us new owners of jeep..keep postin please....got a couple of questions.... own a 2012 jeep wrangler 2dr..i do used it anywhere...all season hiway--go outdoor--errands and commuting to work...whats the best size of tires and lift for me..?? what about wheel spacer?which is which and how much the general cost for them...? thank you guys...please respond...keep jeepin!!!
Awesome video!!!! Can't wait to get. New jeep
Thank you for watching these videos! TeraFlex has dealers in France,we can not post a web page link due to KZhead restrictions. Go to our website and look at the international dealer locator.
Great video guys!
You can go with a 2.5" or the 3" for a little better clearance.
Excellent video.
3" with 35's.
Damn this is such a good video ya'll covered everything great job…👍🏾
Thanks!
great information, Thanks.
TeraFlex has the 2.5" coil kit with TeraFlex shocks for a 2DR #1251002.
Really good video, I know I want the Teraflex 2,5 short arm lift with maybe 1" body. I already crammed 33" grapplers with spacers under my JKUR with no issues so that should get me to 35's with a good ride when the money fairy shows up.
Awesome, nice tips, one day I'll get my rig to look like that
We're glad you enjoyed the video!
I love my JKU TONKA 4 door w/a Dana60, I run 37x12.50r17's front and rear winches with relocated solenoids. Best ever do all easy to maintain Alaskan Bush Vehicles ever!
As long as you install a 1" body lift or go with aftermarket flares with extra bumpstops.
Im planning on getting a jeep next month and i want to put 35s or 37s on it. This may be a stupid question but other than the tires and lift what else should i install so it drives better? I dont want to miss something and end up messing something up. Thanks for all the videos! They have been a big help
What would you recommend for pre-runner style driving ?
Mandatory video for all Jeep owners.
Very Informative. Thank you
I noticed the initial hill climb the JK took a different line then the JKU.. but when lifted they took the same line.
Have a 2016 sahara JKU with only 3.21 gearing. Mostly a DD but some light trails. Don't want to run any bigger than 33 tires (but wider with new rims) because of gearing. Planning on a steel bumper & winch so would I have to use 2.5 suspension lift or would a spacer kit be enough? Always a $ issue.
JEN RULES!!!!
Both the 2.5" and 3" kits do not require any welding to them. The 3" will require more items such as a front adj trackbar and control arms vs. the 2.5" doesn't.
I am new to jeep owner, now for a 7 months. I have a JLU Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. Yes I am wanting to lift it, but I don’t want to lift it more than 2 1/2 and maybe run 33 or maybe 35 at most. I use my jeep for commuting as well as occasional off road to my favorite fishing hole. Advice is welcome
I run the 4" short arm kit with monster track arms. This year I am correcting the steering geometry. That should be in the kit IMO or recommended at least. Just like the driveline is.
The 3" kit is just right for that, along with a set of 35's.
Thank you for this informative video .. i have a question .. I'm about to buy a 2.5 lift kit and i want to know is it comfortable onroad because i dont go ofroad alot and would it be easy for a beginner driver to handle ?
Yes it is! Our 2.5" kits and Leveling Kits are perfect for a beginner driver.
TeraFlexSuspensions is a 2.5" lift on my 2004 JeepLiberty KJ. Going to adversary affect my C.V joints , ball joints , drive shaft angle(bind) etc. Also , are top mount spacers better than the poly inside strut spacers? I'm thinking of just leveling the front with a bolt on top mount kit! Thanks in advance
Jack, that would be the PreRunner kit or a 3" 8-Flexarm suspension kit.
Nice video will be getting our New 2015 Rubicon wrangler this July I was hoping on having a 35 inch tire using the stock rims and no lift do you think it'll be possible? So excited to experience the Jeep :D
I have a 2015 Rubicon Unlimited Manual trans. I was thinking about doing the exact lift mentioned in the video(8:18 - 9:46). Is this actually a good route to take? Will the D44's and 4.1 gears be able to handle the 37's? Is an upgraded stabilizer required? The next set up from this would be 4" short arm / long arm. All in all I would love to find the best combo (price wise) to get 37's and still maintain good feel on and off the trial. Thanks for any input Teraflex and others!
I basically do like a moderate lift but keep it low he got up there with the high center of gravity you run into flip over issues. The other consideration is if you have to drive it everyday you got to keep it road friendly as well. Have a friend in casa grande who has a rock climber and he manages to flip it almost every time he goes out.
2:33 was everything! Haha
Gotta love Jeff Mock. Look at the numbers. Watch the geometry issues, the axel issues, the gearing issues, drive train issues, and engine power issues. Be able to still get and still afford the groceries....
if I did a 2.5 spring lift should I use the shock extensions for oem shocks or would it be fine without?
My jeep sees the back country more than pavement but thats where I live. 2014 JKU Sport running 33x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson MTZ, 1.5" wheel spacers, Bushwacker Flat Fenders and Mid Width Stinger Bumper. Looking to lift when warranty is gone nothing too big at most I'm thinking 4 inch suspension lift and if I want to go bigger I can add body and spacer lifts. Its my Daily Driver, Work Horse and Toy. What do you think there TeraFlex?
If you run a TeraFlex 6" kit, you will be able to run 38-40s. Use one of our 4" kits for 37's.
Very Nice vid! I think the modern Jeep is made to be dual purpose rig. I have the WRANGLER DURATRAC 35's on my new 2013 ultimate wrangler. My question is what tire pressure is best for these tires to wear better. On my last Jeep I had BFG's. I think 29-30 psi worked well. One more Question. Are Bilstein Shocks a good application for my 2.5 inch spring lift on my current 2013 Jeep? Thanks.
How would your lift kits with a long arm upgrade benefit someone in a Jeep XJ?
Beautiful spot up what looks like Big Cottonwood Canyon.
i have a 2013 2 door and i want to run a 35'' tire and around a 3'' lift what would be the best teraflex kit to buy
Fender change 2 inch body lift long arm 4 inch lift 37 in tires hurts milage a little but does well on off road.
Does a body lift with a regular lift put to much stress of the steering and things also connected to body in automatic 2010 jeep jku?
Your videos are fantastic, especially for someone who knows next to nothing about Jeep mods. Please open up shop in Canada! I'll be your most loyal customer, haha!
Off Road Warehouse is in that area with several stores.
What kind of fenders does the orange one has? Awesome vid
I would like to run 35's on a TJ. What combination of suspension/body lift would be best for this w/out having to modify the drive line? Thanks!!
