1.5 inch spacer lift...

[CM⛰]

Are there other less expensive options for the Bump Stop Striker Kit that would work with this lift on 35" tires? Striker Kit costs almost as much as the lift (no shocks). Thanks in advance.

Michael, they're exactly as promised after re-valving and after close to 12k miles, the best word to describe them is "plush". They are noticeably softer than the stock shock but paired with the E rated Coopers, the ride is excellent. I've had more than one passenger comment on how well the on-road manners are. Off road, they work as well as I had hoped too. Knowing what I know and if I had to do it all over, I would order straight from Teraflex and request the custom valving from the start.

If I ordered them from there flex straight what would I tell them to revalue them to be softer?

Unless something has changed with their standard valving from when I bought mine......Yes, you would need to request the softer valving at the time of ordering.

Anyone who has installed the 1.5 spacer lift on a 2dr sport....is there a need for the longer LCAs if you are just doing the standard spacer lift (and maybe an extra .5” in the front)....but nothing more?

also is there a need for adjustable track bars to recenter the axles? I hope not with just 1.5”

For those wanting to add shocks with the spacer kit, for example fox 2.0s, how would the fox 2.0(for 2-3in lift) fit with the teraflex 2in bumpstop extension kit paired with the leveling kit?

Or would it be advisable to run the 0-1.5in shock for the kit instead? I'm just planning ahead for when I throw 35s and rubi fenders on my jeep.

I'm not sure if I'd be wrong, but looking at the numbers for extended, and compressed shocks wouldn't I be okay running the fox 0-1.5in lift?

	Compressed	Extended	Stroke
Rubi front shock	15.57	23.625	8.05
Rubi rear	17.6	26	8.5
Fox 2.0 0-1.5in front	16.25	25.85	9.6
Fox 2.0 0-1.5 rear	16.75	26.85	10.1
Fox 2.0 2-3in front	16.75	26.35	9.6
Fox 2.0 2-3in rear	18.45	29.55	11.1

Let me know what you come up with please? I have this setup with my stock rubicon and want to change shocks in the future

Yeah i’m gonna me researching this stuff. I’m not trying to go too high either.

I went with the teraflex 1.5 spacers this weekend. I also added an additional .5” spacer to the front for an equal 1.5” all the way around. It did not change any driving, steering or alignment. No need for LCAs or trackbars. I will change the shocks to something new shortly. Here is before and after on 33s

Did you go with 0-1.5 or the 2-3. ??? I'm in the same boat

Me as well

Im gonna go with the 0-1.5in lift sized shock whenever I do order them. (decided for a low COG setup)

BUT in theory, the 2-3in lift version should be fine with 2in bumpstop spacers with the spacer lift.

Installed the ST1 kit, bumpstops, and Alpine front lower control arms yesterday. Falcon 3.3 shocks should be delivered early next week. With stock rubicon shocks, it drives very similar to stock. I’ll eventually add front and rear trackbars to square up the axles and get a decent alignment.

Before:

After:

Edit: Installed the Falcon shocks yesterday. Took some measurements and I’m gonna need to add a .5” spacer up front to compensate for the winch, and level it out.

Are LCA, and trackbars necessary for this kit? I just want to add a little lift to accommodate 35s without significantly changing the suspension geometry. I feel that if I have to buy all that for a spacer lift I will rather go with a full suspension kit.

I felt like my steering was a little squirrelly after installing the spacers alone, so I ended up adding an adjustable front track bar to center the axle and adjustable sway bar links. I also upgraded to Icon 2.0 shocks. Still have the stock LCAs and it drives great after ~7k miles on this setup, but I’m considering adding the mopar lift LCAs down the line just to help with the slight highway wandering.

Like you I went with the spacer kit because I just wanted some extra clearance for 35s, but if I had to do it all over again I’d just bite the bullet and get the full suspension lift and roll on 37s.

Thanks for your advice.

For my JLU Sport S to go with 285/70 r17 tires on stock rims I think the TeraFlex ST1 lift is what I’m going to have to do. But do I go with the Falcon 2.1 or Falcon SP2 2.1 shocks? are the stock sway bar links ok? I don’t want any rubbing with stock rims and the larger tires. I know that it will work on road but I can’t find many opinions for if it will clear when flexed off-road. Also what is everyone doing for quick disconnects with this spacer lift?
