Florida Having Second Thoughts about Teraflex lift

[RubiCube5]

I ordered the Teraflex 1.5 inch spacer lift kit (which is 2 inches in the front and 1.5 in the rear) with 35 inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers for my JLUR. Looking to have it all installed next week but I'm seeing a lot of pics of people with 2-inch lifts on 35's and I'm not liking the look at all. I don't want 37's just yet, maybe next round of tires. To make a long story short, I'm considering returning the spacer lift. My question is, are there any options out there for a solid 1-1.5 lift (front and rear) for a 2021 Rubicon?

The 2 door 1.5 kit would get you a 1" front spacer, but you'd have to do something different for the rear. Per Teraflex's logic, the rake is 1/2", so you'd be level if you did the 1" front from that and a 1/2" "Load level kit" for the rear.

Spoke with Teraflex and they said I could just order the 1-inch spacer front and 2 x 1/2 inch spacer for rear. Sound about right?

I have the 2" Synergy Springs and Track Bars + Rear Synergy Track Bar Relocation Bracket (if you want to keep the stock track bar in rear) for my Rubicon. I then added Teraflex Alpine IR Front Adjustable Control Arms to complete the basic lift. As well as RK adjustable sway bar links.

So far, it put me right at 2in of lift front and back, and that dropped down to 1.5in (roughly) with a steel bumper and winch in the front.

With a full custom platform system, 10gal water tank and rtt In the rear; it dropped down to 1-1/4, so I'm adding the teraflex 1/2 in rear load leveling kit to get it back to equal after adding additional camping gear, etc.

I'm still running the stock 33s until their tread is gone, but I could run 37s with that setup. There is clearance for days in the wheel wells.

Sounds like that'll get you what you want.

Another note, Teraflex recommends 2” bump stops with 35s, you could roll the dice on the rears and install them after, but it would be easier to install the fronts while you already have the springs out.

Yeah, I'm keeping the progressive Falcon bump stops that come with the ST1 kit. Teraflex tech guy recommends I use them.

Those are just replacement stops. I meant extending the stops 2". From the ST1 description on the TF site:

• Rubicon Fenders require 2” Front and 2” Rear Bump Stop Extensions to fit 35” tires. Requires 2” Bump Stop Strike Pad Extension Kit (# 1959500) – NOT INCLUDED.

That's where I'm a bit confused. I ordered the Bump Stop Extensions (they arrive tomorrow: https://teraflex.com/shop_items/jl-jlu-2-bump-stop-kit-front-rear) but Teraflex is now saying that they aren't necessary after I explained to them that I'm going 1.5 all around....SMH
