Spacer lift + rake correction recommendation?

[HammeredGold]

Looking to add ~2" spacer lift, but I also want to get rid of the rake. I will probably do AEV 2" or Rough Country 2.5" spacer lift. I was wondering if any of the .75" leveling kits go on the bottom of the spring, that way I could add the spacer lift and get rid of the rake in the front.

It's or a 21 Willys JLU. I have already added rubicon springs and 35" tires.

I have a Teraflex spacer lift kit, 2" in front and 1.5" in rear. Designed to lift and remove forward rake. Let me know if you're interested, I'll hook you up with a great deal on it.

That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for, definitely interested. Thank you.

I have the TeraFlex spacer lift as well. Very pleased with the results and ride quality did not change.

I also have the Teraflex spacer lift and it has been great.

Awesome, did any of you install the longer Mopar LCA with the spacers?

I also did the Terra spacer lift on my wife's JLU and did not change the LCAs. If I remember correctly anything more lift would require the longer LCA.

I also did the TF lift. Make sure you measure your corners before - my Sahara Altitude was actually leveled before I did the spacers, so I had to buy additional little ones to bring the rear back up to keep it level.

I also did not do the LCAs and haven't had any issues. My understanding is that 2" or less doesn't really mess with the geometry enough to need them. Mine actually drove better after the spacers than it did fully stock.

Great, thanks. Only reason I wasn't sure about the LCA is because I swapped to rubicon springs. Those gave me at least an inch of lift, so if I add the teraflex spacers, it would be a total of 3" of lift on the front. There's an obvious rake. Probably because the donor rubicon had a hard top so the rear springs are taller.

Front is definitely lower.

I have a 2020 WIllys and did the Rubicon springs and had a TF 1/2 spacer in the front to level it off. I then recently installed the TF 1.5" leveling kit, removed the 1/2" spacer and installed the longer Mopar LCA's.

I also have the Teraflex spacer kit. The longer Mopar lift kit LCAs were not quite long enough. I used adjustable LCAs set to 1/8" longer than those in the Mopar kit. My caster is now roughly 6°. 1/8" makes a bigger difference than you would think.

I'm not buying the drove-just-fine-without-changing-LCAs. This falls into the you don't know what you're missing category.

The best thing is to download a free angle finder app and measure for yourself. You're looking for 5°-7°

Given that I haven't done the LCAs, I can't say whether or not it's better. What I can say from personal experience is that *only* adding the TF spacers, with everything else under my Jeep bone stock Sahara, there was a noticeable improvement in driving/steering/etc over my stock configuration. I have not measured my caster with an angle app either, but you kind of have my curiosity piqued.

Where did you purchase from?

It was either Quadratec or Extreme Terrain.
