Hi All,

Just put on a 3.5” teraflex spring lift with falcon mono tube 2.1 shocks. Being new to jeeps was wondering it this supposed to feel stiffer than stock more bumps and bounces feel the road a lot more is this normal? Thanks for your insights.

You should have better control and less roll.
If it feels too bouncy maybe your tires are too inflated? Try that and let the shocks settle in.
The new shock should improve absorbing potholes and other road hazards.
If it doesn’t work out, consult Teraflex I would say.

Hey man you have a great looking ride and it sounds like it didn’t take a arm and leg it build
Real nice combo and color. I’m curious where you took you hood measurement? I imaging you started at the ground and went up from there . Best of luck with her and please keep us posted on what you like / dislike about the shocks and kit..
Enjoy

They've re-named the kit to a 3.5" because it was so tall.

Like mentioned... Run your tire pressure at 30-32 psi cold. It makes a world of difference. You'll need a pro cal or a tazer programmer to adjust your TPM warning dash light though. Otherwise you'll see the annoying light.

All done put tires at 30psi now it’s a great ride so regret not going with 3.3 adjustable falcon shock. Have the adjustable steering stabilizer so that good. Here are some pics 3.5” Teraflex lift, 2.1 falcon shock drop bracket, falcon steering stabilizer. 35” ridge grapplers on stock blacked out 18”rims.

What is the difference between the 2.1 and the 3.3 Falcons?

We are running very similar setups on Saharas. Did you add their front track bar relocation bracket as well? Curious - did you have any rubbing from the tie rod on the stock bumper components? Specifically that lovely plastic "skid" underneath?

Yes I did add the relocation brackets no rubbing any where. I’ve since changed from 2.1 falcon shocks to the 3.3adjustable falcon shocks that is the way to go way better ride and more flexibility the 2.1 are set at sport mode so it’s a stiff ride for sure.
