TeraFlex 1155200 JK Leveling Kit

Good quality and value for money!

This TeraFlex leveling kit is exactly what I wanted for my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. Here's my story:I wanted to bump up to 35" tires and knew I would have to get a little more height for clearance. But I did not want to go full-on lift because this Jeep is not intended to be a rock-crawler or heavy-duty off-road vehicle. It's my daily driver with occasional mild to moderate trail rides. This level kit (which I had professionally installed because I do not have the time/tools/knowledge to do it myself) fit the bill perfectly. I combined it with "Nilight 2" Wheel Spacers", "Rough Country 3rd Brake Light Extension" and "Daystar Spare Tire Bumpstop" and I really like how it all turned out. This kit has solid components and is made well.Now that everything is installed, I have noticed that my ride is actually a little smoother and the Jeep feels more stable in the turns. Probably because of the wider stance.I will note that you should make sure your hood latches are solid because with the front lifted a bit there is a little more hood buffering. I put on "RT-TCZ Hood Latches" over a year ago so I was already good to go on that score.Overall, this a is great entry-level kit to improve your Wrangler JK. 5/5 Stars

I'll start by saying we're in the early stages of this Jeep build (2017 JKU Rubicon Recon); as my teenage daughter's skills and comfort increase so will the level of modifications to the Jeep. I've built 5 Jeeps previously and have used Teraflex components for all of them; I trust their quality above all others and appreciate the consideration they've taken to design, test, and support great products.This leveling kit increases the overall height of the Jeep by raising the front 2" and the rear 1" by placing spacers between the coil springs and their mounting buckets on the chassis. The intent of this deliberate difference in lift between the front and the rear is to "level" the Jeep, reducing the "nose low" factory stance. NOTE: after installation the Jeep is still about 1/4" taller in the rear with the factory soft top, and is exactly level with the factory hard top installed.Installation is extremely easy, and the supplied instructions are thorough, concise, and easy to follow. Start to finish installing this lift kit took me 2 hours and 15 minutes working alone with hand tools. The instructions detail which size wrenches and sockets you'll need, so be sure to read through them before starting the job in case there are any you don't have handy, but no special tools (spring compressors, etc.) are needed. You will need a small tube of "Red" thread locking compound for the front driveshaft flange bolts.Post installation experience: after the first day or two of driving, take a few minutes to check the tightness and torque of all suspension bolts involved in the install, especially the axle end of each track bar (those are the highest stress component of the suspension and tend to need a re-tourquing after the first couple hundred miles). With over 6,000 miles including a round trip from WI to FL and back, and two trail rides since the install, there have been no squeaks, rattles, or issues. On road the ride is just as smooth and predictable as ever so there was no appreciable difference even at interstate speeds. Off road the wheel travel increased enough to allow use of 285/75/17 tires (34" tall, 10.75" wide) with no clearance problems even at full articulation and full wheel turn.One thing to keep in mind; with the "leveling" of the overall vehicle stance, there is noticeably more hood buffering at highway speeds especially with a headwind (where the hood catches the wind and tries to "lift" against the hood retainers).This is a great entry level lift kit which will allow you to run a slightly larger tire, improve off road performance, and give your Jeep a more assertive appearance without breaking your bank or causing undesirable loss of ride comfort and handling.

Went on fairly easy. Get two jack stands one for each side. I had to put mine at the highest position and place them on 4x4's to get enough droop in the front to get the springs out. You will have to take the four bolts out that connects the front driveshaft. Not as complicated as it sounds. Lock it into 4wd or the shaft will spin when you try to loosen the bolts. Watch the Teraflex YouTube video. Take both wheels off at the same time. Don't try to do them one at a time. I used a floor jack under the pumpkin to lower and raise the suspension to get the spings out. Worth the money to get if you don't have one. I did all four in five hours in my driveway by myself. Set aside a whole day and take your time. Take pictures if it will help of the suspension before you take everything apart in case you forget how something goes back together. The only problem I encountered was the track bar hole would not line up to put the bolt back in. Even after I put the wheels back on and lowered it to the ground, as the video suggested. So I drove the vehicle forward a couple of feet and voila it lined up perfectly. Get a torque wrench and torque your shock and swaybar link bolts. It can double as a breaker bar for loosening the bolts as well. I did not have to realign the steering wheel as the video instructed. It was perfectly lined up afterwards. I can tell no noticeable feel in the way it handles good or bad. I did notice I had to step up a little higher to get in as well as a little higher vantage point from behind the steering wheel. I have 33's on there now but I know I could easily fit 35's with my Bushwacker flat panel fender flares already installed. Good luck. This is a good kit to level the Jeep out in my opinion.
