Wow that is a perfect fit

Yep, bang on, I think I may need an adjustable panhard to keep it all central at the front when I lift as it is very very close to the swaybar when held on full lock but that was in the plan anyway.Wow that is a perfect fit
Could you have gone wider?Yep, bang on, I think I may need an adjustable panhard to keep it all central at the front when I lift as it is very very close to the swaybar when held on full lock but that was in the plan anyway.
Nup, any wider would rub on the swaybar for sure and would probably stick out past the flares.Could you have gone wider?
Odd there are quite a few that have done this already, not enough caster? Give me a little incase I need to get something else before I start, won't be doing it for another 2 weeks. I also have an adjustable track bar to go on.Just did the 1.5 Teraflex spacer lift + the 2 longer Mpoar LCAs and I can say I am not very happy of how it feels. Curious what will be your feedback, not saying to much to avoid biasing you
My passenger side (US drivers) wheel already touches on the swaybar at full lock with the 305's as the axle is not centered, it bugs me The adjustable trackbar is to get it perfectly centered regardlessI have a 2018 JL Rubicon 2-door, here in South Africa we get a similar RHD version as the Aussies.
I installed the Teraflex 1.5" spacers (For the 2-Door the kit includes 1" spacers for the front and 1.5" at the back).
I have not had any issues whatsoever with steering, alignment, etc. The ride is exactly the same as it was without the spacers. When I installed the spacers both front and rear track bars fitted easily back into position without having to turn the wheels in the front or move the rear axle.
Is adjustable track bars, longer shocks and control arms not an overkill for a 1.5" spacer lift?
You shouldn't have any out of center issue with your axle for having 305 tires and only minor displacement with the 1.5 Teraflex kit so the track-bar may not solve it. Bigger tires means they are also wider, closing up to the inner parts of the Jeep. I have 2 different solution to your issue:My passenger side (US drivers) wheel already touches on the swaybar at full lock with the 305's as the axle is not centered, it bugs me The adjustable trackbar is to get it perfectly centered regardless
Thanks for your feedback! For us (4-drs) it's a bit different on spacer dimensions: 2" front, 1.5" back. Could be that I have an issue so waiting curiously how Steve will like itI have a 2018 JL Rubicon 2-door, here in South Africa we get a similar RHD version as the Aussies.

One side rubs, one doesn't I can see a difference already in axle placement with the stock springs, it's not a lot but enough. I can't go wheel spacers as they are illegal here and it will push the tyre out from under the flares, I have looked at adjusting the steering stops but I will centre the axle 100% first before I do this. New wheels are not an option, as again it will mean pushing them out and past the factory flaresYou shouldn't have any out of center issue with your axle for having 305 tires and only minor displacement with the 1.5 Teraflex kit so the track-bar may not solve it. Bigger tires means they are also wider, closing up to the inner parts of the Jeep. I have 2 different solution to your issue:
1. Wheel spacers - also looks nicer, this is what I picked for myself (315 wheels, touching a lot )
2. Or, behind one the front brake clipper there is a nut to adjust how much the wheels turn - you can drop a few degrees radius without notice, but just enough to avoid the wheel touching on anything.
Bonus 3rd - get new wheels with a small offset, like -20ish
