With the front complete on page 1 we move to the rear. On a lift it isn’t necessary to remove the rear wheels and like the front only a few things to need to be partially detached. The bottom shock bolts, lower sway bar bolts and track bar are all that’s needed to allow the axle to move out enough to remove the springs.
The Teraflex rear spacers bolt in place in the upper spring bucket to prevent them from moving around or falling out. The bolt provided can easily fit the two stacked spacers. With the spacers bolted in and tight replace the springs are reattach the bolts that were removed.
Go over all the nuts/bolts you worked with to make sure everything is properly tight. The final step will be to adjust the front steering wheel center. The wheel will turn a bit when the Jeep is lifted and it’s a matter of adjusting it under the front at the drag link. Loosen the collar and rotate it until the wheel is centered.
Results
We are quite pleased with the result and it is exactly where we wanted it.
Measurements: These are taken from the edge of the rock rail at the fender.
33″ Tires No Lift: Front 18.5”, Rear 19.75”
35″ Tires No Lift: Front 19.25”, Rear 20.75”
35″ Tires with Spacer Lift: Front 20.25″, Rear 21.75″
Kind of exactly what you would expect from a spacer lift…1″ is 1″. The effect of the tires and lift result in approximately 2″ of ground clearance. The Jeep still drives great and looks great.
