What do you guys think about the teraflex spacer lift for the KJ. I was able to get it really cheap and wondering what I'm getting out of it

If it was a nickle it would cost too much
Sell it and buy something better like full spring lift
shocks and springs are more than likely sagged already so need replacing

Yeah I was going to do that but it was given as a graduation gift. Heading to college for 4 years and will be storing it then (will only use in summer). Planning on keeping it on till after college and then getting a better lift. Any recommendations for CRD? Looking for a decent lift 2.5-4"

For a CRD only use OME , 790 front springs and 948 rears, along with OME front shocks, rear use Bilstein for what ever lift height you want.
CRDs and spacer lifts are NOT recommended
Lifted 3 CRDs and over 35 gassers , so thats what is cheapest and works great
of course bumpstops etc
That will give 2.5 inches , I would not go over 3-3.25 with a CRD due to shorter left side CVs

I have the Teraflex lift. I had to put in corrected UCAs too before a successful alignment was possible.

Within a short time I added the Durango (Dakota?) rear overload shocks. Helped the height and firmed up the rear suspension nicely.

Glad to hear someone is running it, I have one in my garage waiting for better weather to install with new quickstruts and rear overload shocks.
